I realize the wiring will have to be all custom, but would it physically mount? Will the airbag work? Cruise would have to be custom wired too, but I don't see that being a huge problem.

Also, I know people love or hate them. More curious then anything.

Might go that route instead of re-covering my OEM one. Meh. We shall see.




Edit: semi answered my question, other then wiring both EP3 and the newer civic have dual stage airbags from what I have found. So it would just be a wiring issue.

yes. It can be installed. I;ve seen it done when I was at a Bear Mountain EP3 meet earlier this year. In my opinion it looks at home in the EP3.

Man I would love to have a look at that wiring diagram. Which wheel was it do you know? Did he wire up the controls to the head unit?

Not sure which I would want more

he had the Si wheel and the Si seats.

He didn't have the controls wired up.

youre talking about danny's ep right? ... the wheel bolts up simple... but i dont think the airbag or the wheel controls will ever be able to be used, weve been looking into it and trying to figure it out but so far no luck

maybe. I don't remember his name off hand. He was the black EP3 with the lip kit dumped on 16s with zero offset.
