CL-P Steering wheel replacement

so i have an 01 clp and my steering wheel is looking pretty ragged out from all the driving (140K miles) do you guys have any pictures or ideas on what to replace it with? is buying a new one from a dealer really expensive? what about aftermarket alternatives? maybe a momo wood grain or something. i have light brown wood accents in my interior anyone got anything for sale? would an 08 tl steering wheel work?

only the 2nd gen TL, CL and MDX without the black acura emblem will work this is usually from the 2003 cars. I would suggest going to a local used parts recycler and getting a steering wheel instead of buying a new one. see if you can get one in good condition or a wood grain one. if you want new then check ebay then the list of OEM online parts dealers on here for cheap parts. they will most likely be cheaper then your local acura parts department including the regular and wood grain wheel.

what about one without an airbag or is it against the law to remove an airbag from a car.

Any aftermarket steering wheel will not have an airbag or steering wheel controls.
www.wheelskins.com makes some very good leather covers. I have used them on several cars with great success. They are a bit tedious to put on though.

Not against the law at least in PA, but if you get in an accident your insurance company can choose not to cover your injuries

I'm pretty sure that one will fit, but not positive. As long as it doesn't have the airbag with the big acura A on it, it should.
