Default Adrenaline Red Steering Wheels?

I'm looking to possibly purchase an adrenaline red/black steering wheel to complement my red/black combo interior. Any suggestions?

Also, will swapping out the steering wheel void any warranty?

That's my wheel. I don't think it voids the warranty at all.

Got it from http://autodynamicswest.com/

Say hi to Greg for me!

That's hot too though it has less red in it. What I like about mine is the balance between the red and the black, the additional carbon fiber center and that the black parts are actually Alcantara suede.

I'm the guy that visited with you at Carlisle...we talked steering wheels and engine covers. I did order the engine covers from Pete @ShowStoppers....since my car is white I didn't want white on the engine covers .... so I chose Torch Red Plenum cover and Carbon Flash Fuel Rail covers with the GS logo like Chevy used on the front fender vents. Here's a photo...similar to this one with the GS logo....

Yep, beautiful steering wheels, more like "Functional Art"

This is you correct?

As others above, I decided to got with a Caravaggio wheel. I chose one similar to the one below except substituting adrenaline red with red stitching for the kalahari. I like the brushed aluminum look of the hub as it matches the other interior components.
Thanks for the help!

I received my new custom adrenaline red steering wheel today from John Caravaggio Corvettes.
I haven't installed it yet but what a beautiful steering wheel. John really has a great attention to detail and it was shipped to me in exactly two weeks from date of order just like John said it would be. This one has more an OEM look then most. I will post another photo of it after installed this weekend.

I wish there were a 4LT with GT features like this wheel, blind spot monitors, some of the other features we see in other cars. With 650 lb-ft I would be OK with the Z gaining a few pounds on a 4LT trim level as long as the more base cars didn't pay a weight penalty.

I realize blind spot monitors are complicated by the coolers in the rear haunches, but that's a "not my problem" kind of problem.
