VS Statesman steering wheel question (regarding the airbag etc)

it is a safety issue, it is also illegal, cops see it they will defect you and youd have toput the old one back on.

I'll second that.

so you get a defect for taking a saftey feature out? because the sports steering wheel has all these papers saying its legal size etc

If you remove an airbag from any part of the car that it left the factory with your car is instantly unroadworthy , thus defectable
