    Well, I guess everyone noticed the most visible change. Does anyone see any other changes?

    well, not so much interchangable. It has airbag but the connectors do not fit. Moreover, the wires on the JDM wheel have two colors - black and yellow, the wires of the airbag of the US wheel have only one color - both of them are red. Go figure which one to connect to yellow and which one to red (those are the colors that come to the airbag connector from the car wiring). So first of all I need to find a connector that will work with a JDM airbag and replace the connector that is on the original wiring harness and then keep my fingers crossed hoping that I got the wires right. It's only 50/50 chances that I'll get it right. Right now the airbag is not connected and the airbag light is on.
    If anyone knows if it makes any difference or not how those two wires are connected - please, let me know.

    As far as the costs - it cost me about $300 in Russia and then my wife brought it over so I didn't have to pay for shipping.

    Nope, there is something else that has changed. The fuel went back to what it was once I got it started. I wonder how long it's going to take untill someone gets my second mod.
