    Hi, just bear in mind that the first one might be a single stage airbag model, make sure you choose the right dual stage airbag model for your car. Changed in 1999.

    Is it just me, I reckon the first one. The second seems too small, almost lost in the big 5s cockpit. I prefer the first as it seems more at home there.
