Horn mod - is it possible to do this
I picked up an 02 not too long ago, and if there's one feature I would want to change, it would be to have a horn button immediately adjacent to my right hand while driving. It's a safety thing with me; I don't like to have to take a hand off the wheel to punch the middle of the wheel to get the horn to sound.
Just wondering if anybody ever hooked up a simple switch to accomplish this, and if so, how you did it.

If I recall correctly, I believe it was cadillas that had a grip switch in the steering wheel that blew the horn when the wheel was squeezed or was it an area on the inside of the wheel the you compressed with thumb pressure.
Any one else recall these wheels.

Ain't that the truth? Most of the time I end up honking my airbag... geesh, just not the same.Mark

hey wait a minute, I had an 88 accord...
That was a nice car (for a nagasaki nutbucket that is 
)
My idea is to pop the center cover/airbag off the steering wheel of my 02 Z06, then with a couple wires, hook up a simple button, and then (maybe w/velcro?) connect it to the area of the wheel closest to the right hand thumb. All without the whole thing looking like total sh*t. Wonder if someone makes a kit.
