Steering Wheel Swap?

oldnfat · February 15, 2004

Has anyone tried to add a newer year model steering wheel to a 93 ES 300? I love the look of the Burl Wood and Leather...and my older one is looking rough. They look very similar....although I've nevr had one in my hands. I would go with a Nardi or Momo, but I like to keep things in the cabin looking factory. Thanks

I don't think the 00-01 wheel will work because of the different airbags. However, you can talk to American Stitches; they will reupholster and put wood if you want. I had them do my wheel in just leather, and it was $300 for everything(shipping, labor, etc.).

The wheel will probably bolt up, the problem is the airbag. The 2000/2001 wheels that have the wood have second generation airbags that aren't compatible with your system. Plus the colors wouldn't match up.

I reccomend American Stitches, www.american-stitches.com I think they'll do a wood/leather wheel for $450.

The bag will not fit.

as i have a brand new grey leather one i was going to put on my 94 but the 97 and up has a smaller airbag which don't line up with the spokes on the bag.
