Default will my air bag with with a v6 leather steering wheel?

i have a 2002 accord ex coupe 4 cylinder, the steering wheel is dry rotted so im looking to replace it, i cant get used to the cover i bought for it.

while looking online i see 2002 accord ex coupe v6 leather steering wheels, not sure why it matters if they say v6 why im asking to make sure the steering wheels arent different?

just want to make sure it will fit my car and air bag will fit in it. my steering wheel is charcoal but the leather ones im looking at buying are black leather, do you think the airbag part will stick out much or is it dark enough to blend?

I don't see why not. The steering wheels are the same across the entire accord line. The only differences are cruise and not sure if they offered radio controls during your model year. Why not just go with an aftermarket steering wheel if the fit of the airbag is an issue.

Good point. Check majestic honda for the steering wheel and airbag. You should be aware that it might not be a good idea to get a used airbag. It may not work when you need it.

Here is the steering wheel install guide from the forum FAQ (using a TL-S wheel, so that's also an option):

Good luck!

i swapped a leather-wrapped V6 wheel into my wife's '01 4cyl accord. it's a direct swap. the reason "V6" is specified is because they were only originally offered in the V6 equipped models. all trim and airbag and buttons will swap over from your original wheel. it's a nice upgrade.
