Converting to '90-'93 Steering Wheel

[onequicklx]

I am considering buying a 1989 LX that is in beautiful shape. Only problem is, I can't get past how ugly that steering wheel is! Is it possible to swap it for a steering wheel from a '90-'93? A functioning airbag is preferred, but not necessary.

the sterring whell i think you may have top swap the whole colum. the air back. only if you re wire car and put the sensers in the right places

the air bag is not worth the hassel. if you get hit in a fox you live to tell about get hit in a honda and RIP

You can always get a chrome chain steering wheel . I put a leather SVO steering wheel on my 89 GT. MOMO makes some nice looking ones too. For the money you'll be spending on the airbag, plus the labor, you can do alot more to the car.

Get a custom wheel. Grant Momo there are plenty to choose from.

Grant makes a good wheel.

Grant GT Signature series 15" steering wheel.

Grant Formula $80

I would rock any of those.

The 90-93 steering wheel is even uglier

Just put the airbag connector on a toggle switch ... if you get in an accident just hit the switch to activate the airbag

 

[Mustang5L5]

Or better yet, wire it to a red push button on the dash and then get a little plaque that says "DO NOT PUSH THIS BUTTON"

Nah rig the air bag up in with a switch that controls your fuel pump, and to your ignition. So if you've got the hidden switch for your fuel pump shut off, your airbag is hot. So some thief tries to start it, he gets smacked with an airbag.

I think most of the aftermarket stuff is pretty ugly myself, and have seen guys put 99+ Wheels with air bag deletes in. Personally I love this idea, but would have to see it (how it looks on the column) before doing it.

 

[Mustang5L5]

I don't think it's possible to put a 94+ wheel on a 87-89 tilt column. Everyone i've seen doing it puts it on a 90-93.


I'd love to put a SN95 wheel on my '88. I love the feel of my '03's steering wheel. Has anyone done it on a tilt column?

i dont think swapping it over would be worth it.

I changed my steering wheel to a older version, from an 86 mustang.....
I think it looks alot better than the original 87-89 wheel....

The guy I almost bought one off (04 wheel with airbag delete panel) said he has the same thing on his 87 or 88... I told him if he shows me pics and it looked good id buy it, but he never did... I have heard of one or two people doing it, but have yet to see a picture to make up my mind for me!

Nice sandals

vote for a leather wrapped Grant, MOMO, LeCarra, those '90-'93 style wheels are u-g-l-y...

 

[808Gt]

i did the 94-04 style wheel too but didnt like that one also....

That appears to be a V6 wheel, which I would never do. A black GT leather wheel would be what I did (I also have 01 GT leather seats). Is that a 90+ car or an 89? Also anymore pics of it, especially from the side or any angle?
