Depends. Do you want to give up having your airbag? I personally would find one the 3 post wheels from the 7th gen Celica.

just FYI that's not a genuine TRD steering wheel(if that's what you think if not my bad) that's just a steering wheel with a TRD logo on it. in the description "Red Stitch Racing Steering wheel with TRD Logo"
real TRD steering wheel (and the are hella expensive) TRD wheel TRD Wheel TRD Wheel TRD Wheel TRD wheel beware not all but some ebay steering wheels This post has been edited by spy00005: Apr 27, 2012 - 1:10 AM -------------------- *Thing i want for my car(i wish i had money)*

Yeah. Didn't think they were real, sort of like all of those TRD knobs on eBay...

Is any modification for your car "worth buying"?

QUOTE (SupraKid @ Apr 27, 2012 - 2:32 AM) Is any modification for your car "worth buying"? haha seriously. our cars are over a decade old. To put it simple I wouldn't buy a trd steering wheel unless it was around $500 I'd much rather the red stitched ss3 3 spoke steering wheel. Flows with the interior of the car much better. -------------------- Group buy to replicate Narrow E series transaxle parts

The joy of the older cars though, is that all the part's prices have leveled out. Provided you don't trash whatever it is you buy, you can turn around and sell it for close to if not what you paid for it. I personally don't see myself going any further than buying fog lights and redoing my exhaust. Unless you race for money, guess could say modifying your car would be pointless. Then what's the fun in having a car?

My 99 GT came with one that looks just like this, except the leather is ALL black and obviously has the toyota symbol in the center not TRD.

you can also get 3 post wheels from matrix and corolla but you have to pay attention to the leather wrap part around the wheel some have it some dont

Yup, that's my wheel exactly. The center emblem update is nice on the 7th gen, but not enough to justify me spending money on it. I love the factory one. Plus having the leather package makes a world of difference. -------------------- 99 Celica GT-S
