Couple questions
First - Do any vendors sell painted steering wheel control bezels? I removed my gray stock front console and gauge bezel.. Now the plastic on the steering wheel looks out of place.. Thinking it would look good VR
Ref pic:
Second - What is next to the starter switch? When I replaced the gauge bezel, I was scratching my head on the sensor that is to the left of the starter switch. I looked in the owners manual today and didn't see reference of it

1. Yes......TKO, I think RPI.....there are others but I can't think of them at the moment.
2. That is the microphone for the Bose AudioPilot speed compensated voulume feature, if the car has Bose.

Thanks folks.. Seeing options on carbon fiber. .but not color matched.. BTW, love that DSVette steering wheel...
Any other pointers would be appreciated.
Found this via google - would be interested if anyone has.. From the pics, not sure if I like the cover look vs. oem part painted

In all honesty I'd skip the spoke covers because they aren't worth the money!They're worth about 40 bucks ,maybe,not 100!I'd go (i am actually) with the real spoke replacements at 110+- or so from DSVETTES and others. The steering wheel too,I might add is a nice touch.I have one of those on the way too!Again,DSVETTES.ALL KINDS OF CHOICES as far as wheels go.

Most would agree with you. Here's an old thread about moving it:http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-c...provement.html
