I am looking for a D-shaped steering wheel that will be a bolt in on my 88. If anyone has installed one I would like to hear from you and see what you have !

While I don't have any pics, I am gonna get a Momo Apache.....It's about the best d-shaped wheel out there, though it is does come with a price...Around $450 plus the adaptor kit.....

Doesn't the adapter move the wheel closer to the driver - an uncomfortable distance closer anyway? I would think adapting it directly to the column would look/feel better anyway.
I have a grant also and love it. I like to drive with the steering wheel tilted all the way down and the D allows me to do that without it rubbing on my knees. It also makes it easier to get out of the car. Tough to drive with my knees though...

i caught a deal on some made by hp racing and got them for various projects, then got an ap racing one for my 86 gt (didn't have as much cash as before) all seem to work good. even got another ap for my blazer.
they stick out a little further but not enough to be bothersome. if you get a removeable wheel it gets kind of bad though, what with the adapter and the detatching assembly.

Just put one on mine yesterday, love it!!!!! Autozone and Pepboys hav'em on the shelf. Grant/Pilot/APC I found one at each store that was marked WAY down, since the were missing parts, bought both, combined them and had all the parts needed at about half the 60 or 70 they cost normally(including installation kit). The adaptor/extension does move the wheel back a little but unless you're pretty good sized it shouldn;t be a problem. I drive a LOT--anywhere from 750 to 1200 miles a week for my work and driving position comfort is critical for me. the extension actually helps since I can rest my elbows on the console and armrest at a more comfortable angle now. Now if I can just find a little fiero emblem to fit in the horn button.
