You need the wheel for 18+, the airbags are different from the 15-17. I believe you lose your heated steering wheel with the 350 wheel. All your buttons swap over, including paddles if you have an A10.

Only the wheel is needed if you have a car with full steering wheel assembly already. You will have to use a 2018+ GT350R wheel (non-R won't have the red centering stripe) since the center hub and airbag attachment area was changed from the 2015-2017.

Thanks Anthony

If you haven't done the swap, it is absolutely worth the 45 min install. With 2018+ you will need the 2018+ GT350 Wheel. I was able to find mine during the holidays when Steeda had them on sale for around $500.

The process is very simple and straight forward as in the CJ video. For me, the most difficult process was getting the airbag cover off as it takes a little effort to push the springs in while also keeping everything lined up and pulling on the airbag cover at the same time. Swapping the components (steering wheel controls) was easy. You only need to remember that the components between both wheels are on the opposite sides. You will loose the heated option. After replacing the components on the GT350 wheel, I added them to my GT wheel, boxed and stored the old wheel.

The final product, look and feel are awesome not to mention easier entry into the seat if you are a little on the long legged side like me.
