It's IS illegal to remove ANY airbag from your car.

So, if you car had a factory steering wheel airbag, then yes it is illegal.

Then again, I have a Nardi in my s14 and it passed inspection... it's all about who you know.

ive heard that the steering wheel needs to be as large as the diamater of the stock wheels. i dunno if thats the case or not in va. sounds like the kinda nonsense theyd check for.

I swapped out the airbag steering wheel on my car for a non-airbag wheel. Didn't have any problems getting mine inspected either
