My stock wheel is now in route to Carbon Fiber Elements. They are building with carbon top and bottom, carbon paddles, and carbon trim to replace the silver. All will be done in gloss with blue stiching. All for 1.2k. Cheapest bad *** custom one I found. Found them off a older post on our beloved forum. The wheel pictured was taken from an older thread and led me down the correct rabbit hole. Now I’m just trying to decide on blue stripe at top or not.

Should look similar to this in our design with blue instead of read.

I may order the all leather one with perforations. My one gripe in my GS is the steering wheel. The one in my 2SS camaro had perforations and was much easier to grip and had better feel. The stock one is too damn slick. Great price for sure! Thanks for posting this.

I added the carbon trim. Looks much better than the silver.

Ha! Thats my carbon wheel! Im glad you opt for carbon fiber element. I promise you, you will not be disappointed. I almost had it for a year now and out of all the mods that i have done, this steering wheel is by far the best one. Tony is a real stand up guy too👍👍

Thanks for the info! I almost PM’ed you to find out what you thought. Then I talked to Tony and was sold. Your wheel is beautiful! I got the impression that Tony is very talented after seeing your wheel and his work on Facebook. All of his work looks amazing. It’s nice to know it’s holding up. I can’t wait to get my wheel back.

An older thread, but the new steering wheel looks very good.

Installed handkraftd
Installed my wheel looks great. Noticed the oem silver trim piece and steering wheel top piece gap is larger than Oem. All other things are great. Can anyone comment on longevity?

could you PM me more pics? I have been watching the same wheel on eBay and have held off because the stock photos look really pale yellow stripe like it might be way lighter than my velocity yellow paint. If it’s a match I want this so bad. Thanks in advance.
