I think the hand brake is a pretty custom job still.

as for the steering wheel the one in my car is a really nice wheel. I dont think I've ever actually had much nicer wheels in any of my cars other than the stock ones. unless you're going for a chain link cheech and chong kinda thing

I don't think it is illegal, It's just going to raise your insurance, not 100% sure on that but I've seen it done.

Sound's like you got a airbag in your head. If you take the airbag's out and God forbid you get into an wreck... Please take pictures of yourself with that face that just say's "yep, I'm a idiot!"

Haha Whoa guys just a thought thats all. Of course a few pounds aren't worth my life. Thought I have to mention I'm the guy who doesn't wear seat belts and yes thats dumb but thats what I do I guess. Also this is coming from a guy who has been in Iraq for 4 months still and I've seen some fucked up **** so I dont think removing an airbag is going to scare me all to much. But I do want a different steering wheel and I would have to remove the stock one and the drivers airbag to do that. But thank you all for your concern.
