Default Steering wheel going ugly

Ok guys so the moisture ruined my steering wheel vinyl. Like when the car is moist and i grab the steering wheel and start turning the vinyl would mess up, after a few times the top of the steering wheel looks like a roach pooped on it. Anyways i don't want to put a cover on it and what year steering wheels fit \on 00 GTs? 94-04 right. also is it pretty simple to do?

Check out the FR500 steering wheel... Its about $150.

Nice overstuffed leather wheel. You'll love it. The install was very simple but you may have to invest in a puller wich is another $10.

Other generic Aftermarket ones will likely work, but you'll loose the airbag which is not a good idea.

In fact, your car may fail to pass inspection depending on where you live.

Yeah I'd wouldn't mind the FR wheel but i dont want to spend too much money. I have the airbag. Just wondering if the 94 and up steering wheel would fit. Also i know people put some kinda vinyl on the wheel i saw kits like that a long time ago.

i have the FRPP wheel because my stock one was doing the same thing that yours is. the new wheel looks good. you can also keep the airbag.

EDIT: i can get you some pics if you want.

this isnt really tech related. General Discussion would be better along with audio visual
