Flat bottom steering wheel on 2015 Stingray
Hi guys,
I just wanted to ask if you can fit a flat bottom steering wheel (as on the 2016+ models) to a 2015 Corvette Stingray 3LT which currently has the round style steering wheel - I've heard rumours there may be issues with whether the standard airbag is compatible?
Many thanks for your help!

Airbags are the same. Easy swap, lots on here have done it.

Very easy install, just make sure you have a good impact driver to break the steering wheel nut loose as it is on very tight. I used a kobolt 700lb impact driver as my 300lb desalt would not break it loose. Basically all you need to do is disconnect battery, pop out air bag using 2 screw drivers, unhook air bag wiring and all control wiring connectors, undo steering wheel nut and lift off. Under an hour to do it.

Not to hijack the post, but I also am looking to do this since I recently bought a 2015 stingray z51. I have already looked on trunk monkey but have found two different part numbers. Could anyone possibly post the correct number? The options I found have a price difference of $410 so something seems off. Both are listed as fitting a z51 with auto trans and both are wheels with the correct color stitching. The two I found are: $323 wheel option and $732 wheel option so it's kinda confusing that both say they will fit. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
