    8g to vr4 conversion questions

    Sorry for sounding like such a noob but i have some serious questions before purchasing these items. Ok so for a while now i have been converting my whole interior black now. im at where all i need left is the seats, carpet, and steering wheel. Ive been looking at the pics on the legnum in the UK and i see that their models come stock in black interior. I want to change the steering wheel off the vr4 to my 8g since they look so similar but since their cars are right sided im not sure if there may be some complications when it comes to installing it. Also I want the seats since they also come black. The front seats look AS IF i wont have an issues installing them but i doubt it. My question is the back seats.... Has anyone tried installing these on their 8g? Im really trying to complete my project n this is the only things holding me back from completing this. Also any helpful hints or other ideas will help. Is there any other ways that you all have done? PS i dont want to lose my air bag or cruise control FYI. Thanks

    Here are some parts i have ben looking at on ebay to give yall more of an idea

    Well that part is good but the issue now is that the seller won't ship the airbag, im not sure why probably a security or some kind of precaution. Is there a way they can send it here? Or is there a place I can get it?

    Alright man thanks! I'm not really concerned on the cards themselves mainly the seats..... I really want the rear seats! Is there any other substitutes that members here have used?

    yeah, take your stock rear seats and get it upholstered to black leather/vinyl. Cheaper than you think.

    On the steering wheel: If you want to stick with the same shape, only in black, look for one off of a mirage. Otherwise the 3G sw is bolt on as well. UK sellers don't rally like to ship here, and airbags in general are not supposed to be shipped because of safety issues (it could explode).
