Steering Wheels

Alright I know I might be asking a silly question for a Yaris… But has anyone ever replaced a steering wheel?

What do I need?… Is there anything I have to remember?...Any Extra Parts I would need to pick up?...Do bitches think MOMO Steering Wheels are sexy?

I have absolutely NO knowledge on the matter, And to be quite honest I am not interested in your opinion in the matter, Just in your Knowledge… But if you feel you must share your opinion… just know, I don’t care!

Who’s got some knowledge to drop on me?

That right. Mine was installed in a tuning shop

Momo are more than sexy, though the girls in my car were more interested in my shift knob

Thanks... I found some of those guys online for like 75-80 bucks... That's not to shabby... As for the red light, I can give two shits about that... I live with the Main Requ light always on! That's the price of doing your own oil changes I guess!

I already have a sexxy Shift Knob, i just don't want my steering wheel to miss out on all the fun!

I know when people replace side airbag seats that they use a resistor across the plug so they don't get the airbag lights. Its probably just a matter of trying different size resistors until the light trips off.

I know you don't care but I have to say that the stock wheel is probably one of the nicer ones on any car I have ever seen. If you had an interior shop wrap it in leather it would be really sweet IMO.

Maybe I'm weird (well, I am), but the stock steering wheel looks obscene to me... The whole center part just kinda reminds me of a woman's crotch... I'd rather have the real thing

You know you can make that go off by yourself if its just because it thinks you need an oil change.

Yeah I know... there's some song and dance about the Trip A Trip B... Turn the car off... Turn it back on... Jerk yourself off, spugg on the windshield, listen to a CD on MAX volume, then smoke a joint...

But I just don't have the patience for all that!

I would rather just Fast Forward to the Joint and call it a day!
