Switch from G37S steering wheel to an F50S one

Has anybody ever tried it, it looks a lot better to me ! Cause we sometimes get a courtesy steering wheel and speed shifter change ( i had the shifter cause it was all scratched up). I asked my dealership and they said it's possible but i'll have to change my airbag module too.

Here is a bigger pic : http://www.roadfly.com/new-cars/wp-c...ring-wheel.jpg

Man, that's a lot to go through for such a subtle change; one that imo would make it look worse, but to each his own. I've never heard of this being done but it should be fine if done right, especially if the dealershіp said so.

I would prefer a flat bottom steering wheel, the best i've ever drove was the r32 one.

I like the chrome and think it would look nice in the G. What's the cost for installation + airbag? I bet the airbag alone is over $500++

I loke the one in the FX but to pay extra for the airbag module would kill the idea for me.

I'd rather go for the CF steering wheel that's available for our ride.
