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.
I'll bet it looks fantastic. I hate to tell you this now, but 2012/2013 steering wheels from Revesol are on the way. I do have more Corvette videos coming, but it might be a little while. I just had shoulder surgery and can't do much for a few weeks until I recover. I am not a happy man right now.🫤
@@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.
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 Unboxing video: th-cam.com/video/-fB2aL26Z38/w-d-xo.html
yep, got mine in and love it. cant wait to drive it. i did not notice there was a certain notch for the wheel though. maybe i was just that good and lined it up perfect the first time. lol
@@Matty.GarageLooks like my video helped them sell out. At least I'd like to think so. 😄 I'll sell ya mine for $1,000. Still a good deal. Just kidding, buddy. Perhaps give them a message and see if they are going to get more in soon?
@@Matty.Garage I got the matte one which actually works better in my car since it's not heavily carbon fiber with that gloss/shine. Plus I'm hoping that the red stripe isn't as bold based on what the pics show. I'm like Jason with wanting the red stiching to match my seats. Bottom line, it's better than the stock one :-)
@@cl.teleprompter312 yes you are right! My car doesn’t have HUD that’s why I was considering getting the one with LED on… it is just 1k more than this one!! Lol … let’s see
Is that the cylindrical gripper knob from MGW? I always thought they looked skinnier in the photos but yours looks great. I have the spherical shifter and I'm not entirely sure I like it. If I can swap it out for $14 from MGW then I'll probably do it.
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?
So you are wanting to swap the buttons from your chrome trim bezel to the new new carbon fiber bezels that are not the chrome trim bezel design? Good question if that will work or not. From the pictures that I have seen, it looks like it can be done. Let me know what you find out!
I bought the same wheel but cheaped out and got the hydrodip carbon fiber look only because I have the same center console as you, that fake wannabe carbon fiber stuff, so I just figured if I've got fake news in my interior already I might as well just save some money and keep the fake stuff going. Either way we both got bad ass upgrades at a great price. I will be installing CF vinyl over the silver button covers to complete the look. Nice video, great channel, take care!
@@InJasonsGarage looks great and holding up fine so far! I researched and found out hydrodip will last a lifetime as long as you take care of it, time will tell.
Yeah, that's why I did show a sped up version in this video. It isn't difficult. You disassemble the old steering wheel and then you assemble on the new one in the opposite order.
@@Sam-z8n3o Here's something that might help... Find a Chrome browser plugin called "Video Speed Controller" and you can use that to slow it down if you need to. You might want to hit the mute button when you slow it down. You can also use it to speed up my other videos when I am running my mouth too long. 🤪
How does the steering wheel feel in your hands? It looks kind of bulky on this video an in the pictures. I was thinking about picking one up for my C6 Grand Sport in the near future but, it looks a little bulky.
Definitely not bulky in my opinion. Feels a TON better than stock, especially where the indents are for your hands. Feels much more secure. I don't have huge hands and it does just fine for me. I'll never go back to the stock wheel.
It feels and looks fantastic. Perfect hand positioning for working the paddle shifters. Flat bottom works better than I thought it would during full turns and helps with ingress and egress. I added carbon fiber trim and an airbag cover which totally upgrades the look. HUGE difference 😊. I would post a pic if I knew how???
I see that, according to Revesol, this steering wheel fits only the ZO6, not the Base model. Shame. Good thing I checked it out before pulling the trigger. This is the one thing I would upgrade on mine C-6.
@@robj2704 They sold out for a bit but I have been in contact with them and they expect a new shipment soon, perhaps next month. They will keep me up to date and I can let you all know when they are back.
It is a factory piece for the Z06, I believe. If you are looking for an aftermarket one, check with American Hydrocarbon. they have pretty realistic looking carbon fiber hydrodip.
Love your videos boss! But when I click the link and go to the c6z wheel they only sell the matte version not the glossy carbon one like yours please help!
They sold out of the real glossy carbon fiber version for now. I have been in contact with them and they expect a new shipment in a few months and they will keep me up to date so I can let you all know.
They go out of stock for the C6 Corvette quickly, and are currently out of stock as I type this, so you might be looking at someone else's listing. Be sure to use the link in the description and check it often.
@@marcorodriguez4769 I believe it will, but you also need the 2006 and up C6 clockspring, side plates and airbag. If you want to incorporate the steering wheel controls, a steering wheel column wiring harness as well. I haven't done it myself, so you might want to double check that I covered everything.
@@InJasonsGarage Thanks for getting back to me. I think you were very lucky to find yours at that price. I think I'm condemned to the boring stock steering wheel forever.
Jason, I want to get one but as I was looking, I was only able to find the hydro dipped not the real carbon fiber. Also I searched for Revesol and was unable to find a contact number or website. Is the link you have still active?
They sold out of the real glossy carbon fiber version since I made this video. I have been in contact with them and they expect a new shipment in a few months and they will keep me up to date so I can let you all know. But right now, you can still get the matte real carbon fiber version at geni.us/RevesolC6Corvette . I think they are only an eBay seller, which is why I made this....to check the quality and service of the seller. So far, so good.
I was really torn between the real carbon or the hydro dipped one and because ultimately my wife has to ok the purchase. Lol. I went with the hydro one and if I absolutely don’t like it I’ll return it and get the real carbon one. I live in Wisconsin and the vette is in the garage for the winter so there’s no rush for me

Looks as though they’re either sold out or discontinued the steering wheel, the website doesn’t show any for sale unfortunately, damn. Just may have to bite the bullet and fork out $1k for one.
@@InJasonsGarage thanks for the update, I’ll check back frequently in the next couple of weeks, not dire that I need the steering wheel, but at half the price, I can wait.
@@InJasonsGarage You are absolutely correct! It came in a few days ago and within the hour it was installed. Feels like I'm driving a different car but in a good way. Thanks for making me a follower :-) So what's next for me to purchase?
installed mine wednesday and took it on the track today, and it was amazing! felt great!
One heck of a difference, isn't it? 👍
Looks soo much better!
Agreed...just a massive upgrade for cheap!
As of right now (12/7/2021) they are back in stock! Get one while you can! geni.us/revesol
What do you guys think? Would you get one for your car?
Looks great. Really interested now
Looks Great... On my list to do.
Great video, looks amazing! I just found them on ebay and put it in my wish list, def thinking id pull the trigger after seeing this video. Thanks,
Says it only fits the Z06, will it fit the Grand Sport?
@@BB2009ish It should fit all C6 Corvettes.

Like the wheel, my problem with the wheel is the cheap sliver control covers. Chevrolet should have made them carbon finish like the center logo
Yeah I agree, but since we are thinking of it...they should have created a unique steering wheel for the car that it deserves.
yep, got mine in and love it. cant wait to drive it. i did not notice there was a certain notch for the wheel though. maybe i was just that good and lined it up perfect the first time. lol

How much ft-lb do i need to tight the steering wheel? There need to be a specification somewhere!! Thank you in advance.
According to what I have read on Corvetteforum, it is 27 lb-ft. Please confirm before you install.
cool and funny hahah! thanks for the video:)
Glad you enjoyed!
Is it THICKER around the grip than the original wheel??
I don't think so, but it does have a different shape. There is a flatter area where the original is just round. Feels great in the hand.
How is the leather and carbon fiber holding up for the steering wheel?
Just fine, but keep in mind my car is not a daily driver.
