    Hello Jason,
    Thank you for a well produced video for the Revesol Steering Wheel. I ordered one for my Ram 2500 truck and needed some detail on how to swap the factory parts onto the Revesol wheel. There wasn't any good vids on DIY wheel swap for the Ram trucks. Thanks again for your top notch instructions. I'm sure by now you hopefully installed a Carbon Fiber dash kit to compliment the new steering wheel.
    Gp

      Kinda surprised that it helped on a different vehicle...but glad it helped either way! I am iffy on carbon fiber personally...I sometimes think it is overdone. Peel and stick carbon fiber everywhere. Yep, it looks great but sometimes...too much is too much. Just my opinion, of course.

    Alright, the new steering wheel is in, mostly. The 2012/2013 steering wheels are actually a complete unit with no removable rear plastic cover so I had to cut the back panel to remove switches and hardware. Talk about being committed. (maybe I should be lol) The carbon fiber bezels I ordered from Ebay Motors fit although I had to file the opening to help the switches fit better. The carbon fiber airbag cover completes the look which is amazing, love the new wheel. So it has no rear plastic cover on it but it works fine and only a little wire can be seen peeking out. Looking for that piece now from a 2008 to 2011 with automatic. Dealership will be the last stop. Thanks for the video, it helped me decide. Keep up the good work. More Vette Vids please.

      @@InJasonsGarage Of course the new wheels are coming out now. The new wheel with full carbon covers look great. I bought a 2009 steering wheel for $150 on EBay motors for the rear cover and extra buttons. My radio bottoms are worn so I can replace them now. Car feels like a super car when I grab the wheels plus indentations give great access and positioning for the paddle shifter. Look forward to more vids. Get well soon.

    Hey Jason, picked up the hydro dip version and it looks and feels fantastic. I have the 2012 grand sport with the updated wheel, pointy chrome bezels which is an issue. Waiting for new button bezels to install wheel. I’m hoping the buttons swap into new bezels (carbon fiber) without complications. During your wheel swap, did the bezels and buttons appear to be swappable?

    Because I mean nobody touches the steering wheel. Right? 😁

    I installed a Revesol REAL carbon steering wheel on my C6 Corvette. Cheap price but great quality! Made for many cars, check them out at: geni.us/revesol (C6 frequently out of stock - get it when you can!)
    Bondic liquid welder seems to work pretty good! geni.us/getbondic

    The OEM 2012-2013 Corvette wheel looks 100 times better than that thing.
