Has anyone gone with aftermarket steering wheel?

[EbonyMarauder03]

I saw a pic of a black MM on another site with an aftermarket steering wheel. Was it anyone here and if so how much of a hassle was the swap?

[martyo]

Yes.

Not a terribly big deal but the look is not for everyone.

I like my steering controls, I would never even consider it.

And you'll lose the airbag...

I saw one with the wood wheel from a GM. To each his own.

You can use the wood steering wheels from the Grand Marquie.

If the wood was a dark cherry, (red) then I might try it.

[johnnyrauder]

please STOP may as well drive a gm if you want wood IMO

The lime green suede looks pretty good on mine.

I can't remember the last time I touched the cruise control or climate controls. I do use the volume control, but I could go back to reaching for it.

What I'd like to do is swap out for the Mustang 3 spoke wheel. Be nice to keep the airbag, but that would be pretty risky to play with. I have seen some nice aftermarket wheels that are in the 15 inch diameter range.

I Hate the idea of changing the steering wheel on a MM, unless it's the new one from the Towncar, CV/GM but otherwise NO!!!!, airbag issues, messing up the controls, etc. I hate to see Impala SSs (94-96) with weird steering wheels you find in hotrod cars, totally takes away from the interior IMO. If a modern vehicle is supposed to have an airbag then it's there for a reason.

I was given a woodgrain-insert steering wheel from a CV or a GM, and I bought the other dash trim to go with it. I never liked the stupid faux dot-matrix crap on the MM...I think woodgrain looks more elegant...haven't installed it yet, but I'm going to.

[EbonyMarauder03]

Overload...Do you have the trim for the doors, too, or just the dash and the steering wheel? I too am not a fan of the faux dot matrix look.

[RF Overlord]

No, just the steering wheel and the 2 dash pieces...although I prefer wood over the dot-matrix, I just wanted a touch of it, not the whole Florida blue-hair look... :D

But Bob, that may be a really good look for you...;)

[RF Overlord]

But Bob, that may be a really good look for you...;)Oh, it's ON now.

Yo mama SO ugly...

I would consider a heated steering wheel either S55 red/black or something that matches the panels on the dash and the doors.
I'm not going with "Your Mama" look
