Default chrome emblem for steering wheel?

I saw a chrome emblem for your steering wheel recently, does anyone know where to find them for a 99 GS?

the wheel you saw are the 2001+, to make your '98-2000 like that, you have to replace the air bag

I wouldn't mind trying to find one to.. Doesn't "L" on the center cap for the wheel fit on there? You might have to do some fabricating but it might work.. THe other option is replacing the steering wheel.. Alot of members have done that..

I bought one on eBay. It has 3M backing. I used super glue also. Lots of it. I hope it won't fly off in the event the airbag goes off. Knocking on wood right now.

It goes for a highly inflated price. Around $50+ for a stupid emblem. But it definitely spruces up the bland interior of the '98-'00 GS interior. The '01 interior is def. nicer. Nicer wheel and the wood ashtray def add accents that desperately is lacking in the 98-00 GS.

I think if your airbag goes off, that emblem is the least of your worries.

True dat! But of course!

But some people here have mentioned in other threads that they wouldn't even consider doing it because they don't want an 'L' on their forehead for life.

Ha, you'd be tagged a Loser forever.

Wow...that's ridiculous.

I have that one and it's not high quality plastic or anything...

Damn. For $1 in materials that's a nice profit.

i saw one on ebay about a month ago and when i stopped checking it was at $60+. they do sell for an insane price. if anyone has a hook up please do a group buy. i think majority of us 98-00 GS owners would buy one...damn car companies and their mid-cycle upgrades.
