Wheel configuration determines eligibility. The factory radio-control-style application is narrower than the general Firebird model-year range. The 1987 GTA used a different wheel, and 1990 Firebirds changed to an airbag-equipped design. Have any swapped or modified wheel reviewed before ordering.
- One black-leather recovering service performed on one original steering wheel supplied by the customer.
The steering wheel is the driver's steering input and a frequently handled interior component. Recovering is an option when the existing leather covering is worn or deteriorated and the owner wants to retain the original wheel for an interior restoration or refurbishment.
This service addresses the leather covering on the radio-control-style wheel. Have the wheel's structure, mounting area, horn components and radio-control operation inspected separately when planning the work. Electrical repairs and control refurbishment require separate confirmation of scope.
The finished item remains your existing wheel with recovered leather. Original components may retain age-related cosmetic wear, and the appearance of your finished wheel may differ from the representative photographs.
Before ordering, compare your wheel with the product photographs. Confirm the center radio-control layout, spoke shape, front and rear hub arrangement, and existing electrical connections. Contact Hawks with photographs if the wheel has been changed or its application is uncertain.
Use the applicable factory service procedure for removal and reinstallation. GM service information cautions that steering-wheel puller bolts inserted too far can damage radio-control components beneath the hub.
After placing your order, send your original steering wheel with your order number, name and shipping address. Confirm preparation and packing details with Hawks before shipment.

Am I purchasing a wheel or a recovering service?
You are purchasing recovering service for your own original steering wheel. Place the order, then send your wheel to Hawks with your order and return-shipping information.
Which center-control layout should my wheel have?
This service is for the style originally equipped with a center horn-button section containing radio controls. Compare the wheel's shape and hub arrangement with the photographs before ordering.
Is every 1989 GTA equipped with this wheel?
No. Factory CD-player-equipped 1989 GTAs used a different steering wheel without the UK3 radio controls. Confirm the wheel actually installed in your car.
What leather color is offered?
The current service listing specifies black leather.
Will recovering repair inoperative radio buttons?
The published service covers leather recovering. Discuss any horn or radio-control faults with Hawks separately before sending the wheel.
