My biggest issue is shipping the airbag. There's all sorts of rules about that. Unless I take the actual explosive part out and give you just the frame.

Don’t want an airbag anyways. So totally okay with no boom boom shipped.

Just get it recovered by redlinegoods.com

That’s what I’m going to do.

It’s smaller and doesn’t have any metal exposed. I feel like those are boat steering wheels, not cars.

I would, but I would like a little smaller steering wheel, sometimes I feel like the 1st gen bus wheel gets in the way.

I think it’s the 3rd gen that’s the popular one.

I have a nice 3g as well but it’s not a leather one.

I just spent way to much money to buy a custom steering wheel. I will not get it for 6-8 weeks. This is the log.

Paid for it through PayPal and used the protection. He said PayPal will not let him have the money for 7 days. He is overseas but never had a problem before.

I've looked at those several times, but I just couldn't justify the money.

I 100% understand. He said 200-800 so I just messaged him to see what the 200 one costs. Well somehow I spent more. It’s really because when I drove my car this weekend my steering wheel was just coming apart in my hands. I’ve needed one for quite a while so this was timing plus I love the stock but not stock look. And if I got just a 3rd gen wheel it’s would prob already be broken down some. This will be new and last.

I mean I wouldn’t call it a problem ;)

When I looked at them when I got my new cover from redlinegoods, it was only going to be like ~$100-150 more to get the eBay one. By the time you added thumb grips, padding, and the install cost it was like $550 from redline, and it wasn’t flat bottomed.
