Its a 1995, different model year. I'm just seeing which 97-01 color code is brown, and which one is grey.
The ebay site is confusing me. The wood wheel that looks like it has brown leather has the grey color code.
And another listing (of a different wheel) is grey, but listed with a brown color code, and costs twice as much.

But from looking at the picture, you can easily tell that the wheel has brown leather.

For $5 I have a wood grain wheel cover from Wal-mart. It's dark and matches too. It also has black padding so it matches with my dark interior.

Once you get the wheel how hard is it to transpant the old air bag from the original wheel to the new one?

i like my steering wheel, i dont want a harder one like the woodgrain type.
once im mad at mine enough to want to replace it, i will replace with the same type, perhaps an online dealership or parts, or a junkyard or used part in perfect condition.
i like my black wheel

Heck yea it does. The fact that I paid little for it, it made it look better, and certainly, I'm happy about it. Only if I had time to get a picture, you'll see how good it looks.
