hi my steering wheel is deteriorating and i think it would be cool to fit a 2005-2010 steering wheel on my car. my question is will it fit or is it not worth it? i know ima have to get the airbag and maybe some other stuff but in general would it work?

I don't know. Are you gonna (or do you have to) swap out the entire steering column or just the steering wheel? I'd say check everything first. I'm almost certain the column won't work...what with the anti-theft system and all. The key might not work with the ECU or vice-versa. As far as just the steering wheel, check the clock spring and the airbags and all the connections.

I went through some of this before, if you use a an SN97 wheel then you must use an sn97 wheel hub, same with going backwards to a fox style hub , The (as I recall) pre SN heels used a set of contacts for the horn while the SNs use a "tape" for lack of a better term. The hubs do interchange however on the steering shaft. As far as the 2006, it beats the crap out of me, but if the shaft is the same diameter/style, then I would assume the hub would be interchangeable as well, but that's a 10 year manufacturing cycle and a totally different body style. Ssso I'm saying not likely.
