If I had a C7 this would be one of my first mods, to me the price is more than fair, you do not get quality work like this cheap.

That looks amazing!!!!!!!

Didn't the picture you showed last week have the Horn Center with the Corvette Emblem recessed?? I thought that looked better, but either way this is sweet looking.

Because it would be a 2000 dollar option.....for a freakin steering wheel

That horn pad didn't have the emblem installed.

John - How about making the top portion in carbon fiber that matches the dash? If so, would you be able to price it now? Can you PM a ballpark figure? Thanks

Because what would they do for 2015 / 2016?

I love the horn pad but too rich for my blood.

It looks fantastic, as always John. Great work. I can't wait to see the seats...

Have you considered the aluminum on the wheel's face? To my (very non-artistic) eyes, it clashes with the dark/black of the rest of the wheel. I know GM said they wanted to dull it a little more before releasing the car, but I'm not sure they went far enough. I wonder what it would look like powder-coated with a matte black or something like that?

Hm.

Thanks Jason, we are working on a few versions. I just need to get the seats done by tomorrow.
