Retrofit 2012 Camaro with 2011 steering wheel? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Not sure I like the new steering wheel though.

I wonder what it would cost to replace it with a 2011 model?

I goes the first question is can it be done?

Someone already posted around three days ago that they wanted to swap wheels. I think they had a 2010. Keep searching through, you'll find it.

I think the 2011 wheel was more comfortable. Again, it might be because I've been driving it for 6 months.

I drove a 45th anniversary edition.

Really to be honest, I'm not looking at the steering wheel while driving. There does seem to be a bit more comfort in the 2012 steering wheel.

Replace the bowtie with Camaro and we have a winner!

Better yet replace it with a SLP aftermarket one. Much better. Thinking of going that route

Really? I love the 2012 wheel. I thought the 2011/ 2012 was cheap/ bulky feeling with the plastic center core. The 2012 wheel IMO would be perfect if they had kept camaro in the center.

I'm considering trading my 2010 in on a 2012 45th Anniversary and I thought the 2012 wheel was a big improvement to my 2010. YMMV.

REDXIIIDave · 09-25-2011, 05:35 AM

Get a custom wheel. Grant, or maybe DSV. Don't resort to a shitty 2011 wheel. Although the 2010-2011 wheel is better, the custom ones are better still. Just don't do the ACE wheel.

I will trade my steering wheel (2010) with someone who has a 2012 and wants an old one. Just hit me up

I love the 2012 wheel I plan to do the swap on my 2010 early next year.

I still prefer the 2010-11 to the 2012. I think the 2012 is what you would find in a cruze.

CAMAROZL1 · 09-25-2011, 09:27 AM

It doesn't matter if it appears in other cars. As long as it's comfortable and nice, I'll take it.

It's just a steering wheel folks, I still don't get the arguments. Most of the time I'm driving, I look out my windshield, not at my steering wheel.

As REDXIII13Dave said, just get a custom wheel and you'll be much happier.
