tooquicktostop Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 red white theme outside, like the Starsky and Hutch look ? You can get hundreds of different steering wheels and many different price points Have a look at Garage Whifbitz website on here or Demon Tweeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee_e Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Think you will need a boss kit to change the steering wheel to a aftermarket one, thats if your car doesnt already have one on but im sure if im wrong i will be corrected. Dam beat me to it !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee_e Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 No problem, then you will need a boss kit. as far as i know if you buy from demon tweeks, they should recommend a boss kit to go with the wheel , or so they did when i last looked you will probably need to take it to a garag of somesort to get ot changed as its pretty tricky to change it yourself. Im new to the steering wheel scene aswell so im sure i will learn a thing or 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Leather TRD airbag steering wheel would be my choice, although they are discontinued now so difficult to find. http://www.boomplustoys.net/images/trd/TRD%20Steering%20Wheel.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Nic, Wow, I bet that would cost a pretty penny if anyone could find one. Have a look through the traders websites and places like Demon Tweeks for a wheels. Sparco, Momo and issotta (sp?) are very good makes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodilx6 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) Second to the TRD wheel, get a RAV4/celica wheel from 2001-2005 from a scrap yeard. Get the cheap plastic one and get it upholstered in the colour you want. You will have something very close to the TRD one and can be done cheap if you are lucky. The airbag is expensive from Toyota though. Alternatively you can get a coverplate from Toyota as well for half the price of the airbag...
