install it yourself. it's easy. even easier if you have a pre-04 model with the controls on the sides of the wheel.

Plan on it.
Wife has the car now heheee.
Should be home later in the evening.
Everything is pretty much close to matching now.
Got CD in the ride finally. Took my wheels off due to weather, but they will go back on when spring comes around. I think I plan on triming the front fenders and see what I can do about the rear. Put the H&R springs and see how it looks then. Got to get some sport type shocks too at least.

I like that steering wheel better than the one that came with the 02 models. I want that wheel, but without the wood.

i guess i was right (thanks dave).the pre-2004 is a straight swap for the post-2004, but you will need a new airbag for the new wheel. that i do not have, just the wheel. pm me if interested.
