steering wheel options for first gen ls
Hey there CL, Ive been researching the options 90-94 members have on what to do with thier steering wheels (recover, wood grain, aftermarket etc..) and I remember an old old member who got a wheel from an es (the 2000 model) and got it to bolt right on... anyone remember the specifics or even what im talking about? Id really like a nice woodgrain wheel and the ES is a callin.
please dont waste your time or mine telling me to search, I am the search master but its just too old to dig up./

The UCF21/20 wheels bolt straight on up to the very last 400 in 2000 , however when they went to a two stage airbag you can't use them , not sure when that was , it might be possible to swop your " guts " into the later two stage wheel , don't know , the VVTI had the woodgrain wheel and I believe it was an option before that as I have seen non VVTI ls400's with a woodgrain wheel .
The air bag plug is different so you have to do a bit of splicing , I'm told [ but I don't know for sure ] that the cruise part is a straight swap .

the airbag is obviously not something I want to give up or I would be going with the great looking fabulous wheel or something like that.
what kind of specialist could I take the wheel to swap out the guts? Im not comfortable messing with airbags and Id rather pay a professional to do It right rather than my best guess.
also does anyone know where I could get more info about the steering wheel bolt pattern (if thats even what its called), if its not available online I guess I could always go to the dealer.
