"Air Bag mod"= wanted to add more "color" to the center of the wheel rather than just the black with stitching that we typically see in most of the wheels so I had John (based on his suggestion) do that airbag/horn in Kalahari as well.
The pic truly does not do this wheel justice with the Carbon fiber insert, albeit a pricey add on- really makes the CF dash pop
Another shot of just the wheel

It does seem to have the same amount of travel it did with stock wheel. I actually still have both and they look identical in every way on the back end to my eye...you got the "D" bottom correct ?

To VetteFan666...PM John he will give you good pricing. The CF adds about $600 but you do not have to have it made with it.
The other insight from my experience is that this process takes a while, both to build and to get thru Customs since it comes from Canada but what a beauty. I had one made for my C6 and though I gave the stock one back as part of the deal I readily found a stock wheel to replace it when I sold it so that I could get 1K-1200 in addition to the sale of my C6, you will not get what you pay for this wheel should you leave it on...just FYI

Suggestion to John!
John,
Why not offer Carbon Fiber on the wheel itself that now has black leather? (top and bottom)

To Doc's point ...It is a 15 minute job, as it was on my C6.....However there is a star "bolt" that holds this wheel on the column (after removing the sir bag you will see it). I spent the better part of an hour trying to get that b**** off to no avail, I needed pneumatic tools which i do not have so... $50 at the dealer.
