Is it available without any buttons at all on it? I like the steering wheel controls on my Silverado but the Camaro has the radio right there and I don't really want to bother with rewiring stuff to add controls, nor do I want buttons that do nothing if I can avoid it.

That is awesome! If/when y'all get this figured all out to get all the wheel functions and airbag to work I'll be sure to pick one up from you. If your selling a kit to wire everything up that is? Lol
The newer wheel looks like such a huge improvement over the factory Fbody bus wheel. I'm sure it improve on the driving experience in a Gen4.

If you get the right wheel it is a phenomenal improvement and a perfect solution if you wanted to stay with an OEM wheel. I really wasnt expecting it. The combo of the wheel being alot lighter, its deeper so the wheel sits out a little more than stock, the rim being much thicker and the smaller diameter all made for a really nice improvement in steering feel both on the street and autocrossing.

Can't wait to have you beta test it, because my car still isn't ready...

There is a TON of brand new Vette wheels on ebay in all the multitudes of styles GM had in leather, suede and both combos with 4 different color stitch options. My brand new wheel was only $229 and came in a oem gm box. All of the radio controls and bezels are the interchangeable. With the exception of the 12-13 Vette wheel like I have. If you want the cruise button on the left your gonna need to fab it as the Vette only had a bluetooth and voice button on the left. The bezels from the larger diameter version wheel will not interchange with the smaller wheel and vice versa.
Lastly, if you want to use the stock horn, and f body clockspring you need to elongate some slots to pass the clockspring wires and you have to drill a hole to connect the horn.
Im going on 2 hours sleep the entire weekend, sorry if thats a jarbled mess. There is alot of variations on this wheel . Safest bet is to get a vette or cobalt/g5 wheel and a Cobalt /g5 airbag.
