all you need is a hub for a 96-00 civic, the steering wheel and the quick release

the wait game is more for older cars. since airbags need multiple signals to blow. aka vehicle speed, abs if equiped. correct me if i'm wrong.

you should get a hub lock too. so someone can't roll up and use thier own wheel to steel your car. I have NRG quick release, short hub, hub lock and it works great.
not sure where garden grove is but if you live close to san diego just go to panns in clairmont they'll hook you up with everything you need. will probably cost you around 250 or something for everything.

those are bad!
if you get into a wreck(hopefully not) there is no air bag to stop your head from hitting the steering wheel at the speed you were going.
F.E 65mph+
keep it stock

I once went to a customers house that suffered from minor brain damage because of his air bag going off on him.

honestly dont get a NRG hub. Everyone has 1 even thiefs. Get some thing that is not seen that much. You might even be interested in getting a weld in hub. Thats what I did and I have only seen my hub in straight drag cars or off road trucks.
