    Yes anything is possible, and i'm sure you can find someone to sign off on it, but it's an airbag, not something id **** with.
    Yeah, a Qld TMR approved automotive engineer will have the last word prior to going ahead. I don't want a malfunctioning nose breaker or a steering column speering me in the face. I'm challenged enough in the looks department now. Still, it does seem possible.

    my honest recommendation to you would be an irmy carbon steering wheel. Will match your interior much better and be fully legal.

    for the amount of effort you would need to put in, that commodore wheel is incredibly ugly especially when the G turbo wheel is direct fit and so much nicer

    +1 the new Astra j steering wheel looks very nice. It's far better than the one in your first post and it will already be opelised when you get it

    I wouldnt be wasting what would be in excess of $500 on a commodore steering wheel just to get it engineered and customized. Just not worth it when looks that shit..

    Also to answer ur thing about the exhaust 2.25" is maximum id go for a small na engine. Power loss will be minimal at best, but u will have a note to the engine for placebo effects ( 2.25 could probably sound droney, deff dont do if u have an auto or if u do make sure u get some good mufflers/resonators) also price u wrote seems ridiculous! Unless thats with new headers
