Default 2LT steering wheel inserts on 08..

Fellow corvette enthusiasts and vendors..
I have an 08 coupe.. It has the 2 silver caps on the steering wheel that look out of place with my other stock interior pieces. I have the 2 tone ebony/ti seats and interior.. Any suggestions on what to use and where to get. I think it might look better if it matched the carbon fiber look of the console.. Any suggestions, pics would be appreciated.
Thanks.. Mike

TKO and other companies sell it. All Hydrocarbon I would be the same I guess since most of it comes from one main company.

Just had a nice conversation with Ed at TKO, they are in the final stages of testing their CF overlays for the spokes, I put my name down for a set of them.

I agree with OP. The caps also look out of place with my cashmere interior. Does anyone sell them in body color?

Is the installation difficult? Looks like it has a metal tab that would require some disassembly of the wheel to fasten.

The airbag has to come out. Relatively straight forward install.

I purchased the cheap "wrap around" ones from Apsis. They're good enough for me.
