Hope this isn't just a tease like the "smaller diameter steering wheel" that seemed to drift quietly into oblivion.

Would be very interested if, like everyone else, we're not looking at a ridiculous price.

wait... there was a possibility of smaller diameter wheels? I would love a smaller diameter D-style wheel that takes the same airbag/controls...

I'd be interested in both. The headlights are starting to look dated in my opinion and our steering wheel belongs on a yacht

I think it was Redline Goods who was prototyping a C6 wheel modified to be the same diameter as the C7 wheel. They had a thread going and showed some pictures - several people expressed interest including myself, but I haven't seen anything on it for several months now. I think they were looking at ~$1000 for the wheel. My guess is they decided the market wasn't big enough to support the R&D.

I decided not to hold my breath so I sent my wheel to SoCal Garage Works to be "D" modified, re-wrapped, and the airbag covered in leather. Took quite a while, but the wheel is done and just waiting for it to be shipped back.

Our OEM headlights looked cool in 2005! Today not so much.

I hope this happens.

Hmm. Looks pretty neat. If they put out good light they might be a winner.
