To be honest, I'm not sure if that would really be well suited in a Cobalt, but that is a damn fine looking steering wheel though!

When I looked into the newer Corvettes when buying my car, I think the steering wheel looked very similar to pretty much every Chev steering wheel including the Cobalt's...which leads me to believe it may be interchangeable?

With that being said, although you'd have to carbon fibre it to match, would you not be able to take off the left side from the Cobalt wheel, place it on the Vette wheel and rewire the buttons? That's also assuming it's the same size, which it looks to be.

Looks nice, but I could care less about having a fancy steering wheel. That money could be much better spent elsewhere on the car IMO.

yes but it does contribute to the cobalt having one of the worst interiors in its class


Im sorry. but go compare your interior to a mazda3 or CSRT4.

nice addition. prob not worth the price but would look damn good.

Oh, I agree with you 100%. Granted, my cars got a good bit of miles on it (59,6xx), but the fact that the trim pieces on both of my doors are peeling/chipping the way they are (and I take care of my interior via Armor All ICE)........::sigh::........it saddens me.

700 is nothing to someone that spends 75k on a car

People on this forum are funny...

Do you realize that the steering wheel is the part of your car you use the most?

I love how people will spend money on stupid **** like strut tower braces that don't do anything, yet a new better designed, better looking steering wheel people are like nah **** that

In my opinion that wheel would make the cobalt a much better car to drive, just because it feels better in your hands, 700 is a little much but i think i would do it

Strut bar that does nothing huh?

I see your point but Strut braces make a HUGE difference in how the car handles and feels. I could tell the difference just pulling out of my driveway. 700 is just a little much for a steering wheel.. but then again if I dropped 75k on a new vette I would prolly have the spare cash for a steering wheel of that price

"The regular price for the carbon fiber top is going to be $799.00 plus a $200.00 refundable core charge."

lol goddam. Does look pretty sweet though, but not for $700.
