stlmo_gtp, yes, that's the kind I've been seeing.
So, perhaps it's the case that unless you purchased the stereo controls option you received the plain wheel (albeit with different style airbag too). Maybe it was an interior package option that included the power seats as well.
My stock stereo was the high end version though, the cd player with equalizer - I figured the controls on the steering wheel would go hand-in-hand with the upgraded stereo.

Lawngoose, were you referring to my wheel or the one directly above your post by stlmo_gtp?

I have considered getting a new antenna - something like the shorty or fin style to keep it down...
The one that's on there now is so damned chunky... it looks like a marine aftermarket antenna, heh.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Cheers,
Chris
