'06 Steering Wheel
This may be a stupid question, but will Chevy or aftermarket suppliers offer the '06 steering wheel to replace the '05 steering wheel?
I have a '05 on order, but I like the '06's steering wheel more.

You'll either need to replace the entire steering column, or do some cut and splice electrical work (something I'd be reluctant to do for an air bag).

I saw an advertisement on NBC this morning while watching the Auto show that showed one of GM's new SUVs(I can't keep track of all the names of them).It had a steering wheel with a strong resemblance to the '06 C6 wheel.For those waiting to order until '06,you may want to check it out,if the commonality of steering wheels across the product line is what's keeping you from ordering an '05.We may have a similar scenerio next year.Maybe GM will offer a variety of wheels as they expand their aftermarket Corvette line.I think it could be a very popular )and profitable niche for them to capture early on.
