Has anyone changed out their steering wheel for something different (sports wheel from Commadore or CTSV, etc.)?
If so, what did you get and what was involved?
Pics would be great!
Cheers

Use the search function.
I changed mine out with the red/onyx Holden Sports wheel. Here's a link that shows what's involved: http://forum.grrrr8.net/showthread.php?t=1771
And here are a few pictures I took while doing it. Trickiest part is popping the airbag out.

I changed mine regular wheel for a sport wheel, it was pretty easy. the install tips I read said to remove the bottom of the steering housing but you dont have to and I would not suggest it casue those little tabs are a pain to get out and why do it if there is no need. Airbag is easy if you have a large flat screwdriver, just insert, twist and pry and bingo its out.

From single piece base model plastic steering wheel to Holden Sports Red Hot steering wheel. New parts fitted = steering wheel rear shroud, steering wheel, spoke cover kit, steering wheel control buttons, steering wheel emblem. The owner of this car (Pat from Montreal) was over the moon with the different look and feel.
