Will this work if my vehicle does not have the round airbag?Yes. If your vehicle does not have the round airbag, you will need the steering wheel, paddles, additional parts required and a new airbag. We do not sell the airbag but will let you know what the appropriate part number is.
What is the difference between the steering wheels?Sports: This steering wheel is the basic model and contains no special features. Only compatible with SSG and SMG LCI paddles.
M-Tech: This steering wheel has perforated leather. Only compatible with SSG and SMG LCI paddles.
M: This steering wheel has the tri-color stitch and is a little thicker than the Sports and M-Tech steering wheels. Only compatible with SMG paddles.
* SMG LCI paddles have to me modified by us to function with the kit. Modifying the paddles is included in the price for the paddles.
What is the difference between SMG and SSG paddles?SMG is classified as pull only paddles, where the left paddle shifts down and the right paddle shifts up by pulling.
SSG is classified as push/pull paddles, where both paddles shift down by pushing and shift up by pulling the paddle.
If I only purchase the kit, can I get the steering wheel and paddles myself?If you choose to do so, we will send you the necessary part numbers needed for the steering wheel and paddles with the purchase of the kit.
