I got a 95 teg..and the steering wheel is getting a little old, and I really like the feel and look of the 98+ ones. Is the swaping process an easy?

 

it should bolt right on

 

Just get a leather wrap from an auto store. I got one for about $16, it's smooth leather, just like the factory ones, and comes w/ enough thread and 2 needles to do a baseball-style stitch (the most difficult stitch). I did this one and it's real nice. Pretty difficult to stitch up, though, I had to use gloves.

 

I'll second the leather wrap comment, and stress the "wear gloves" part. I spent a couple lunch hours installing the leather cover over the stock, thick plastic wheel. Feels a bunch better... but my fingers hurt for days afterwards.

Then again, if the wheel on the '98 is more of a soft touch (read: like Charmin, squeezably soft), go with that one. While the leather wrap was an improvement, the wheel on my Subie still feels a ton better.
