Default Steering Wheel Help!

Hello everyone. I bought a 2005 Nissan 350z 35th Anniversary Edition a couple of months ago and i have been looking to get custom parts for it. Right now i am looking for a new steering wheel and not entirely sure on what to get. I am looking for something "futuristic" looking like, and one that i really like would be the http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-JD...1VypGb&vxp=mtr but

1. It's off of Ebay
2. It's only $29.99

so i'm not entirely sure if it's good quality... what do you guys think?

Why would you take a nice car and put garbage parts on it?

For a little more you can have some cool buttons for your horn or self destruct features.




Perfect for any 92 civic

If you have to ask if junk parts are OK, then for you, they're probably appropriate. Likely not a genuine "35th Anniversary" Z, anyway. Way too many 2005 cars sold as such to uninformed buyers. Post some pics for verification.

You asked and we answered...

What type of cosmetic damages? Are you willing to lose your steering wheel controls with a new wheel?

What about the airbag? If you don't care about safety, go for it.

You can't be one of the cool kids without a cheap wheel and QR hub. Next step Varrdogs and some Chinese coils, eBay lip, purple headlight bulbs, tinted tails,plastidip, etc.

If they are looking at $30 steering wheels, I bet it's closer to an XXR budget.
