Do a search.Tons of topics.

All you need to buy is the control stalk since the necessary control and sensors are already in the car. Here's one source for the control stalk:http://www.rockauto.com/catalo...,4320You'll also need to cut a hole in the plastic housing around the steering column and reposition the green ground wire for the horn which uses the same connector. That wire has to be removed from the existing connector and inserted into the new connector that comes with the stalk.As mentioned, there are lots of previous threads with more detailed instructions. A very worthwhile and pretty inexpensive modification.

Thanks for the reply. I just ordered the stalk from rockauto. The search feature provided enough info for me to try it.Joe

It's not difficult, and well worth the effort. I used a one inch wood cutting bit to cut through the plastic steering column. It made a nice clean cut, and it looks like it came from the factory that way.
