There is a company that makes a replacement cover for the steering wheel when you take out the airbag but their name escapes me right now. my airbags are still in for now but not hooked up. why? because my car is a 93 and has gen 1 airbags, which are NOT the advanced systems in cars today. with the age on my car and historically known problems with first gen air bag systems the possibility of having the airbag go off when Im driving down the road and hit a huge bump is quite high. Anyone remember way back in the day when there were all kinds of law suits over airbags deploying for no reason or because of a slight bump? my cousins went off in his 94 Impala when he was parking it and it broke his nose. My seat belt is always on and pulled tight and with my seat all the way back theres no way im putting my face into the windshield (especially on a 4th gen) or into the steering wheel unless Im in a catastrophic accident and then thats the least of my worries.
