A lot more comfortable IMO and suites my one handed driving style better.

I will be doing the same. At the moment I'm using a washer but the horn isn't functional, it is still a work in progress. I got the idea from my brother who put one in his G1 Legend so I grabbed another off the yard and put her in the 3g Accord.

Sweet lookin' Lude Steering Wheel!

[carotman]

I did this on my Accord too. In fact, I reshaped the plastic around the combination switch. It looks 100% stock now and the steering wheel is still intact. I'll take a picture of this soon.

i shaved the back of a bench grinder with a fine stone..... it looks like it was born in my car lol

[lostforawhile]

I did the same thing,had to shave the back of the wheel,and the plastic. mine was a little more difficult due to the fact that i have a different combo switch,a different plastic surround,and the lude wheel. nothing fit. I'll post a pic as soon as I find it.

[diegoaccord]

Im putting that in the Teg.

[MessyHonda]

yeah i took a belt sander to the back of mine. plus everything hooked up like OEM

[Estimated Prophet]

It looks a lot like the S2000 wheel. Much more comfortable and I'd take it over a Momo any day.

[speedpenguin]

Wow that looks great! Much nicer than the craptastic wheel I have in my Civic, too.

The same car I got the wheel from has some really nice front seats in mint condition. Anyone know if these will fit my 89 Hatch without modification?

its like a 95% bolt on swap. ive done it on my dx. you just swap the rails from your old seats. and they are more cumffy and it does not feel like you are going to fall out when you are in the twisties.

[BITESIZE]

I think the accord one is nicer actually.

Sweet ass, I'll go pull them out now before the weather gets a hold of them.

The ones that came with my car aren't bad but I love the feel of a "bucket" seat.

what do you guys mean by shave?

[Pico]

You trim off some of the back of the steering wheel so it does not rub.
I'd show you mine but I kind of butchered it up when I did mine

[MessyHonda]

il take pics of mine

[Estimated Prophet]

yea urs is old looking

To the best of my knowledge only the 90-91 Si had the rounded wheel. I'll check on Hollander later. I have tons of the square style but we've only had two of the newer ones come in lately and one is in my brother's G1 Legend and the other is in my 3G Hatch.
