Guest maybe2fast Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 this wheel is out of a 1992 Euro Lumina and it will do nicely. I took the hood emblem off of a 88 and it fit perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jibby Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I like it! Although I'd like to stay stock in most respects. Good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest maybe2fast Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 yeah but the 1990-1991 wheel is so ugly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest F14CRAZY Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Agreed. I'd rather suffer a concussion with my forehead on the wheel then look at that ugly wheel every day.If my dad's convert's bag ever pops, I'm going to figure out a retrofit from another GM car.

Jibby Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Oh, so you guys like the old Reatta steering wheels. With no airbag and looking like a reject from the sixties! Hey, to each his own... I always liked the 90-91 on the Reatta. Even the 1993 Mustang's looked better than my 1987 Mustang's steering wheel... to me, in any case. So, bleh!

Guest maybe2fast Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 I installed it today and had a few problems but nothing major. First I had to figure out the resistance of the airbag, now you can't voltmeter it because it could go off! so I talked to my dad and the owner of the autogarage we work at and 2 ohms was the way to go so I tricked the airbag light and the wheel looks great and the feel is sooo much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest F14CRAZY Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 The Lumina steering wheel has an airbag, right?And maybe2fast: is it functional? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest maybe2fast Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 No airbag! I had to trick the light with two simple 1 ohm resistors to make 2 ohm resistance and the light went off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 The ornament looks good there but '88 hood ornaments are extremely hard to find in good condition. They have not been available new probably since '88 and even my parts book which was printed in '89 only shows the larger style hood ornament which is now also unavailable from GM or Vintage.

Guest F14CRAZY Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 I see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest geoman1 Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 I used the same wheel on my 90 and also used the same method to trick the airbag. I used the emblem from the original wheel and used double sided tape to attach it over the chevy bowtie. Here is a pic of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
