    Hey guys I recently bought an 01 MDX wheel to replace the old decaying piece of cow that takes the place of a proper steering wheel. I do have a couple questions however on the install. First, the MDX wheel came with its airbag support, can I use this support or do I need to switch my support over to make the airbag fit properly. Also, has anyone personally done this and is there any surprises I need to know about? It should be simple just wanna make sure. Thanks guys :driving:

    I'm pretty sure everything is interchangeable unless you have a single stage airbag, you need to use an accord airbag. Everything else (switches, covers) is PnP.

    be like it is
    Just make absolutely sure its the "early" version of the wheel.

    also, mine was off one "notch" so the wheel was a little off to the side until I got it realigned.

    Tan w/perf leather, don't see too many of those. Looks good! Feels even better. :)

    This style wheel is still my favorite.

    It feels amazing. I highly recommend this to anyone haha. The only thing is that the wheel is a bit darker than the airbag piece but its not too bad.

    Awesome, looks to be in good condition. How much did you pay for the wheel? I picked up a TL-S wheel from the salvage yard for super cheap but it has a few more scuffs than I would prefer, might try looking for another.
