I just happened to get lucky that a fellow forum member was local and he swapped out for a high gloss dash and sold me his oem one.

Beautiful steering wheel. Where did you buy it? Did you replace the steering wheel OR are these accessories that you put on the existing steering wheel?

I bought a d shaped flat bottom z06 steering wheel from a good friend that I met during a swap. I still have the current oem round steering wheel. As for how much I sank into this car. Probably 15k+

I've added OEM Stage 3 front Aero, OEM Stage 2 rear Aero and C7 Carbon side skirts. Also lowered it and added 20/21 Signature SV303s wheels. Lastly, full exhaust/pulley/CAI/E85 to 685whp/752wtq.

Yes I decided to go with aftermarket Z06 replica wheels. I like the machine faced wheels but after switching the emblems, side markers and adding the tint, side skirts and splitter, I decided that the wheels needed to be black. I'm very happy with the end results.
