Default Jdm steering wheel on 04 ex

What is a nice jdm steering wheel that i can put on a 2004 ex coupe but will still be able to retain my airbag and cruise control functions. Basically, a nice jdm steering wheel that would be a direct bolt on with no problem.

i have seen the dc5 wheel and i like it very much. Couple questions:
is it a direct bolt on?
will my airbag work? if so, would i just connect some plugs, or would it be harder than that?
lastly, my cruise control would be disabled, wont it?

i know for sure cruise control will be lost. i'm sure thou you could wire it to make the airbag work and everthing.

You really have to know what you're doing. In order for the JDM airbag to work in your USDM car, you are going to have to switch out the control module and put it on the JDM steering wheel.

If you don't mind my saying so, the USDM EP3 and USDM DC5 steering wheels look almost as good and will cost you a hell of a lot less, and you won't be running any risks with the SRS and cruise control.

And it's very easy to get the black H to be red. Those little stickers really don't look bad at all.

thanks for the informations guys. Definetly, i think i will be going with the ep3 steering wheel since i will be able to retain my cruise and airbag functions. What type of modifications and wiring will i have to do? i don't want to buy it and then i have to pay somebody another $300 to make it fit and work correctly.

I don't think it would be difficult, but you can contact the user Ocelaris to get his opinion. He spends a lot of time figuring out little problems like that.
