Default my new D-shaped top and bottom carbon steering wheel!! Amazing!!!!!!!!!
So I got this shipped back all the way from Australia. I have had this guy made steering wheels for my other car before so I know how superb they are. The leather are perforated and felt much more amazing than our cheaply stock leather steering wheel. My stock one with just under 6k miles is already aged and stressed way more than my other custom one with 40k+ miles.
This cost me 1700 including shipping back from Australia (for steering wheel, paddles, and bezel). I bought a used C7 steering wheel from eBay for 105 for core, spent 60 bucks to ship to Australia.
This new one is even more amazing in everyway.
Probably the best mod investment ever, 24 hrs later and it is even more amazing. This pic shows every grip position and it feels so natural. This should have been an added option direct from GM

OP, CorvetteForum rules state that you may only start one thread on a similar subject. I have merged your two threads about your steering wheel together.

I'm loving mine. It's something that I touch and see the most when I'm in the car. It gotta look perfect!
Well done!

Get a really strong Air Gun and a very good quality T50 to shoot out the bolt. A tegular wrench plus breaker bar will not do a thing. Not even an electronic impact gun is strong enough for me to shoot the bolt out

So how much was it and who sells that? Robson Design? If yes, their listed price + paddles in CF comes to way more than the price even Caravaggio charges doesn't it?

Seen these on eBay.....using the stock finish airbag ruins the look....have someone finish the project....Caravaggio perhaps?

Caravaggio isn't really carbon though. As far as the alcantara airbag cover and stitching, I can get that done locally in LA for rather cheap. I'll see if I want to go that route
