Default 2012-13 steering wheels

HI does anyone know if they made a suede steering wheel with just ebony stitching ?

I know the centennial edition has the finish I want but the stitching is red I want just ebony or grey stitching.

thanks

No ebony stitching, but I believe titanium was an option. I think they had red, blue, yellow, and titanium.

I haven't seen anything in titanium. Steering wheel is my next upgrade and I want suede with black stitching.

I'm going to buy the suede with blue and use a fabric marker to color the stitching black. Below are the options that I'm aware of.

I don't remember Titanium being an option but I'm not sure.

As doomi mentioned, you can buy any color stitching and dye it. Here's a discussion where someone wanted what you are after so he made it himself:

No ebony, closest to neutral color would have been the dull blue stitch like on an Anniversary model. GM part number is 22873736 for a manual trans car w/Bluetooth.

To my knowledge, questionable lol, the only vette with suede wheel and colored stitching was the CE w/red and 60th w/anniversary pkg that had the blue. Your only options unless you buy one of those and have it restitched or go aftermarket.

Pretty sure there was Carbon Editions with orange or blue stitching as well.

I ordered the 60th ann one so the stitching should be blue I will take my time and die the threads ebony or something similar should look good.

Just take it to a shop and have the stitching replaced in the color you want. You're NEVER going to get the blue to look titanium in color.

Sorry for the misquote...originally you wanted titanium stitching but the you switched it to ebony and I missed it. That should be doable. GL!
