Default Installed My New DSV Steering Wheel
Took a little bit of time, with one broken steering puller leg and a couple hiccups as you can see in this thread, http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-t...g-problem.html but I persevered and got the steering wheel installed without blowing up the airbag in my face and everything still works!

Here's a couple of the installed pics.

Very nice! How long is their production time from order?

Also, did you get extra padding? It looks thicker than other DSV steering wheels I've seen.

No, I decided to keep it the way it was, took about 2 1/2 weeks to get it back...faster then I expected.

Did DSV provide the other custom blue leather? If not, it looks like the steering wheel matched up pretty well to the other pieces.

No, some pieces are slightly different shades of blue but I can live with that. They still seem to go together pretty well.
