Looks and feels amazing. Paddle shifters give resistance but that’s because of corvette’s technology having both paddle shifters upshift and downshift, these paddles aren’t meant to be pushed but the c6 makes you push the paddle to upshift and pull to downshift; hence the slight resistance when upshifting. Otherwise it’s a great purchase.
Hi James, we're glad you're happy with your steering wheel and appreciate your detailed feedback on the paddle shifters. Thanks for choosing Zencarbonfiber!Hi there, thanks so much for the detailed feedback and for picking up a custom setup for your C6!
To address a few of your notes: The center emblem is secured with double-sided tape, so you can actually gently twist it to get the orientation perfectly straight. Having to press a bit harder to honk is also completely normal for the C6 with a custom cover—I actually owned a 2012 C6 myself, so I know exactly what you mean!
You are totally right about the Corvette's quirky factory push/pull paddle design causing that resistance. Just as a quick heads-up, our new magnetic paddle shifters are actually custom-rewired to function like standard sports cars (one paddle exclusively upshifts, the other downshifts) and they are completely plug-and-play.
We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and we're thrilled you love how it looks. Let us know if you ever need anything else!
Perfection
the dedication put into my wheel is definitely shown everytime i look at it i love it bro
Awesome steering wheel. Only problem is the carbon fiber piece for the steering wheel controls doesn't fit very well. The buttons get stuck and don't sit right in it. Had to file some material off just to get it on but still needs a little more to get the buttons to fit and function correctly.
Hi Charlie,
I am glad you love the steering wheel overall, but I am really sorry to hear about the fitment issues with the carbon fiber trim piece. You definitely shouldn't have to file it down just to make the buttons work.
Please email us some photos of how the buttons are sitting at info@zencarbonfiber.com. We will absolutely get this sorted out for you, whether that means sending a brand new replacement piece or whatever else you need to get everything functioning and fitting perfectly.
Best,
