Post The new "A" on the 2002 Steering Wheel Looks Sweet.....Can We Get That for 99-01???

Does anyone know if that Black and Silver? "A" comes off the new 2002 steering wheels...I asked Park Ave Acura but they said that the "A" wasn't sold seperately you have to buy the whole airbag..... WOW!! Cha Ching!!

Does the 2002 wood steering wheel come with a NEW "A" on the steering wheel also or is that on the plain ones only...

New steering wheel/wood wheel is just the wheel. The airbag is taken off the your stock wheel and put on the new one.

Yes I am dying to get that sweet looking Logo "A" on my 2001 TL too. When I bought mine, I thought it was a pity not to have such logo for such a sweet car. I don't understand why the Engineers in the lab can't think of that? I mean come on, how hard it is to think of such an idea. Even the most unmindful buyer would be able to see that it. Every other luxury cars like BMW, Lexus, Audi of the same class all have their nice logo on the steering wheel to show off the brand. Well, I have called serveral dealers and they told me the same thing. The logo is part of the airbag! Shit! I was very upset. SO I called the customer relation. They said they put a note to the R&D. So if you guys can join me to call their customers relation or even better write them a letter and let them know how you feel. If we keep pressuring them, they will make those logos. Here are their number and address:

800) 382-2238 or
Acura Client Services
Mail Stop 500-2S-2A
1919 Torrance Blvd.
Torrance, CA 90501-2746

Thank you all, TL lovers!
