Acura Steering Wheel Fits???
Hey all...I know some of you guys swapped your Accord steering wheel with the Acura TL Type S steering wheel or even the MDX one. I want to do this, also, so I called the local Acura dealers and they want like $200 for a new one...too high for me. So I went on eBay and found these two steering wheels. One is from an MDX and it's beige, which will match my tan interior, but there is this TL-S steering wheel that has the perforated leather but it's black. Will both of these fit on my 2000 Accord?
Here are the links:
MDX: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33704
TL-S: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33704

I don't think the 2003-up Acura MDX wheels will fit our Accords. I've seen people put MDX wheels in Accords, but I doubt they were 2003.
The TL-S wheel does fit. I'm 99% sure, as the following replies will confirm.

The TL-S looks right but I don't see holes where they need to be.

I just won this auction on eBay for this MDX steering wheel. The best part is it'll match my interior color. Check it out:

Don't bid for it on Ebay...go down to your local dealer and make friends with the guy behind the parts counter.
They throw away the old wheels---talk to them and they will sell it for cheap, they can't give them away to you but you can deal.
Usually less then 50bucks and you can snag one every time no issues.
Depending on the model the holes always line up on gen6 cars; however, you sometimes need to get defferent screws from HomeDepot to mount the cruise, radio, and balancer weights do to threading changes from various plants Mexico vs. Marysvilles.

I assume the wiring is compatible. It'd be a royal pain otherwise (I imagine).

I'm not possative about the MDX wheel not fitting.
The main hub my look different but that's really irrelavent, you might even as last resort be able to re-drill accessories mounting bosses. I have seen 3 different mounting bosses for TL wheels and all will direct bolt to Accords oneway or another. I currently have a TL-S wheel for sale, I'm not hugely motivated to sell but PM me if interested.
