New Steering Wheel & Quick Release Installed~! - Toyota Yaris Forums

I thought about an aftermarket steering wheel, but I can't get over the fact that if the CHP catches you, you're fined like $5k-$6k (not for the steering wheel, but for tampering with the airbag), or at least my friends told me.

I don't know how much the tickets are, but yeah, if you remove any safety equipment from a vehicle, you can get a ticket.

My co-worker actually got a ticket for using his 4-point harness in his 350z instead of his seatbelt. He still had it present in the vehicle, but he got ticketed for not wearing it.
