So I got a couple more parts in the mail today. Black wood steering wheel courtesy of member splitfire

I also took 99 GS3's advice to source out a JDM non-navi climate control unit. I luckily found one on eBay from Japan that just happen to match the black wood steering wheel and very close to the black wood in my car. i only needed the climate control but it just happened to also come with a radio and vents.

The dash pieces as well as the steering wheel have a slight blue tint to them when the light hits them but they're a close enough match. Also notice the driver's side vent doesn't have the LED indicator for the vehicle security so I don't think I'll be using the small piece on the bottom.

It most likely would've worked but when 99 GS3 mentioned keeping it JDM I totally agreed with him.

Puff.. does it look like it will fit your 01+ airbag? In the for sale ad it was for a 98-00.

Doooohhhh!!

I saw this and was all over it.. but the confusion of the 98-00\01+ made me wary. Good pickup my man. Good pickup!
