I've got it and like it. I've had it on 2013 427 Vert for almost 2 years and it shows no sign of wear. Feels great.

Thanks. Do you know if it is the same or slightly thicker than standard leather wrapped wheel ?

I had the Ultrasuede steering wheel on my CTS-V and I miss it dearly on my C7. It held up very well over 3 years of DD use but it did require occasional (but delicate) cleaning. When this becomes a purchasable after-sale option, I'll be buying one.

It's already available. It's about $300 from GM Parts House:

Not sure, but I think it's the same.

FWIW. Bob Wendorff at Fitchner has the best pricing on them at under $300. I will be ordering mine from him along with the shift **** and boot later today.

IIRC, it comes with the microfiber suede seat insert option if you get the competition seats.


Cheers.

Best Bet is to call him as he gets backed up on emails from time to time.

I believe you will have to order the competition seats with the upper suede package
