possible to place cruise-control elsewhere?
I'm keeen on this idea as well, there are some Honda/Acura steering-wheels that I'd be interested in, particularly the European Type_R's & JDM ones.
For what it's worth, Lexus steering-wheels have been swapped w/ success across the model lines w/ some of the older generations (unsure about the current IS, GS, etc'). The wood-trimmed wheels have become sought after amongst enthusiasts who then re-dye the airbag cover / SRS-module to match their interior.
When an airbag is deployed, it exits the airbag-cover through a hidden seam on one side of the airbag cover. This is basically an intentional 'weak' point of the cover, so to speak. For Lexus vehicles, it is across the middle of the airbag-cover running horizontally. Looking at the airbag cover & steering-wheel after deployment, it's as if the cover was cut/slashed from one end to the other.
If anyone knows the pattern of deployment of the NSX driver's airbag from the steering-wheel, then it'd be quite helpful in making some cosmetic mod's to the cover w/o impeding the airbag deployment or raising the risk for potential injury to the driver. Combine that w/ some rubber-padding to make the wheel thicker & re-cover it w/ alcantara or other materials of choice... quite an impressive setup IMHO.
