I love the look of the D bottom steering wheel but my '14 steering wheel works just fine for me. No way I would pay $2,000+ for a steering wheel - I am young and way too cheap (although they are gorgeous!).

I really do like my D shaped wheel, but I believe you are doing this because Howard ends with a "D" . Good Luck John.


I just ordered the Stingray Decal, Thanks for the info.

This is exactly what I'm looking for. Was this a dealer purchase and install and was it expensive?

It's easy to do yourself IF you can get the T50 bolt out. Some have had success and I did not. Even my impact wouldn't budge it. I called 3 dealers and they ranged from $280 to $90. I had the dealer swap it for $90 on Monday. There is a good write up on here on the install if you search for it. Bought the wheel from a forum vender.

You are correct. I paid $407 for the wheel and $16 for shipping. Still quite a bit more than what they are charging but I'm happy with the product so I'll deal with it.

Here's mine with the factory carbon fiber dash from Trunk Monkey. Thanks Rick. Installed today in a '16 Z06 3LZ. I love the feel of the suede over the smooth leather. It is much more comfortable.
