Default C7 steering wheel

Can anybody photoshop the silver to either be black or woven carbon fiber?

OK, now make the driver into a cute Blond in a mini skirt! (High heels optional.)

Body color might be cool. I ordered mine in Laguna Blue... That might be pretty cool.

But I definitely need some contrasting colors.

I think CF would look amazing... I guarantee an after market option becomes available.

I guess CF would match the FAY option. I expect someone comes out with a CF console trim too. That was my personal major gripe about the FAY option.

Can somebody do CF too? I think black definitely looks better than silver.

The late model C6 steering wheel looks better than the C7. Not to mention that funky C7 steering wheel stitching looks like APSIS overkill. It's a car, not a saddle.

I am not a fan of the steering wheel stand alone, but I do like it in the context of the entire interior. Looks awesome from a drivers perspective.

Steering wheel, how outdated? We need a steering control stick. Think about it, with the right setup turns would so much easier and more precise. Steering response (fast or slow) could be controlled by rate of stick movement. Wonder why this technology hasn't come about. We are still steering are vehicles like they did in the early automotive years. New aircraft have abandoned control wheels in favor of a side stick.

I agree, i like it more than the silver, but i like the carbon (above) even better as well. The steering wheel is still sort of an eye sore for me in general (one of the few c7 design bits i'm still eh on)
