My steering wheel is worn on the top, and has some whack cuts on the sides ( ). I'd be down for a tan one if the price was right.

Lets see some pics, and how much are we talking about $$??

I just looked at Rick's page, I don't think he has the MDX wheel.

On the 97s - why not just hook the horn up to the middle section? Will the wheel actually fit onto the col or is that the problem?

I don't have the MDX steering wheel.

I wish I did, but the fucking wheel won't fit on the '97s!

I HAVE IT!?!?! I got it off ebay for like 10 bucks last year. it was off a 99 MDX? (which ever year it started) I think that's the only year that fits because the rest the mounting is a little different from what i've seen on those ebay pictures.

The MDX steering wheel compared to the stock one is more FAT, you get a better hold of it. But now I want a momo one..hehehe cause momo compared to MDX has a better hold....

Do the 98+ CLs have the same wheel as the Accord/CL/TL? My buddies Accord looks like the exact same wheel, and so does the one on the newer CLs I see here. I'd rather just have one of the new half perfed ones. Fatter would be nice too.

how hard is it to install a steering wheel?

do i need special tools?

what if the airbag deploys and hits me in the face?

it does look really nice though

I have looked into this for the 97, the airbag section is actually shorter for the 97 so even if you could dremel the holes for the horn buttons you would still have a good size gap between the airbag and wheel but i would love it if someone could figure it out w/o replacing the airbag

the steering wheel doesnt seem too hard to put on
you have to unplug the battery when installing

This would be a cool buy if you could get the airbag to go w/ it. I've yet to see one that looks good cause everyone uses the stock air bag and the colors def. don't match.

Yes that will fit. Notice how that mounting plate is different from the others posted on ebay? Thats the same plate for our cars. I don't know if the other ones with the different plates will work or not. But this one would...but 0 feedback, i wouldn't buy from him...
