2007 Base Steering wheel interchangeable with 2007 Type S ?
Does anyone know if the 07 base steering wheel fit our Type S? I am talking about the steering wheel by itself w/o the airbag , audio control buttons / CC . Thinking to get the base one and transfer all the buttons , airbag /cc / audio etc to the base one . Is it possible ?

Yup, the only difference you'll notice is if you have an auto, there's paddle shifters. I can't recall how they're mounted but you can probably swap it over easily.

How come you are tying to change it? I thought the only difference was the little screw in panel that said type s in the bottom?

You can, that trim piece with the type-s logo is held on by one screw.

I think what Dave means is that you should be getting a custom wheel done up instead of replacing with used OEM!

You're good to swap everything over
Everything is the exact same, besides the type-s logo trim.

AC is soooooo nice in this weather thanks again man! I have not forgotten!

These have been discontinued long ago. I think Bruce got his hands on a couple of them way back and sold it.

This is even better:

Does anyone know if the paddle shifters will work as well? Cuz I have an 08 base and wanted to see if I can just switch over a type s steering wheel and if everything would just be plug and play?

if you search, you'll see that people have done it. Use google rather than the internal search tool, add "site:acurazine.com" to it to limit to just this site

The paddle shifters are useless due to the s l o w shifting nature of the 5a.Just get your wheel redone.
