Not to sure if I'm the first one to do this, but I took a 2003 Honda S2000 steering wheel I got off ebay (for 25 bucks!) and put it on my Honda Beat. It was not a direct fit, so I took my old steering wheel to a machine shop who fitted the splines from the old wheel to the S2000 wheel.

When I got my car, it came with a 11" momo wheel (very small!) and I could not see the top of the tach. This was very annoying. I was going to get a factory Honda Beat Steering wheel, but was unable to find any...then I remembered that I had a Honda S2000 steering wheel in the basement that I bought on a whim. I measured it (about 12" in diameter) and thought it might be near perfect! A little modification and an airbag cover (I have the non-airbag model beat) and I'm back in business!

Now I can see ALL the gauges at a glance, PLUS I love the look of the S2000 wheel and its nice leather!

I'm just waiting for my "H" logo to arrive for the horn, and then I'm all set!

What do you guys think?

Thanks! I can't get enough of it! Every time I take it for a drive I'm REALLY pleased with the way it looks and feels, plus it's kinda cool having a part of an S2000 in the Beat as well ;)
