So suede fades and flattens out??? That sucks... I'm leaning twords the spoon due to that reason now... I have racing gloves that r suede that would be great with the mugen but that would be the only reason to get it...

or avoid pressing the sticker logo area when you honk on :lol:

- Mon Sep 13, 2010 5:43 am #213358 I wouldn't recommend going with a 'Racing' Steering wheel. I will make a list of reasons of why:

1) If you try to resell the car, people will think the car has been wrecked and instead of installing a new airbag you put in a 'racing steering wheel'

2) You loose your airbag. Not only do you not have an airbag it has less foam protecting you from the metal in the wheel. Also Remember even if you drive perfectly 100% of the time, Other peoples wrecklessness can get you into a wreck. Only thing that sucks more then loosing your faverate ride is being badly hurt in a wreck AND loosing your ride.

3) You loose your Cruise Control.

I can see on a pure race car having one of these, however if daily driven it doesn't seam like a good idea to me. If you want to no longer rock a stock stearing wheel, the S2000 Steering wheel is OEM, can keep Airbags and cruise control and looks really darn cool. The 06+ Civic Si's steering wheels look cool imo, as well as the 09+ Fit Wheels. They will also both keep airbags and cruise control.

Not only that its not often you see a S2k, 06+Si or Fit Steering wheel in an Eg/EK. I have seen s2ks in egs online. never in person. that would be much more impressive then seeing a 'racing steering wheel imo' Especally a flat one.
