Four snap-in clip points on the leather where it meets up with the trim ring then a single T20 torx bolt that holds the shift knob to the shift lever in the transmission. Should take 15 minutes to change if you've never done it before.

Okay thanks, that is good to know, I've got a scratch on the shift knob that I thought I'd have to live with forever.

They took care of it and didn’t charge me. I spoke to the sales person in person when we were picking the care up and asked him to run it by the floor manager. The floor manager couldn’t believe it and took the cost off. Prior I had only had text correspondence. The parts department was trying to charge the cost.

They are using a vin off a 2020 2SS manual to get the replacement parts I want. I love the car but will love it more when I get the steering wheel etc switched. The suede is too slippery

I had the hood wrap removed as well didn’t like that either. I love the color, satin steel and didn’t like just seeing a little of it then a huge matte black hood. Picked it up Saturday afternoon and already have 487 miles on it.

If I did this right this is a picture of it.

Nice 1LE VT and great color too!�� I thought after owning a 2016 2SS for 3 years and then buying the used 2017 ZL1 that I couldn’t get used to the Alcantara but after over a year of driving the ZL1 I really like it. It does go flat and needs cleaning from time to time but the leather needs cleaning and treatment too. Just depends on what a owner wants and likes.

I don't think this is the correct steering wheel.
This is for a 2016 Camaro automatic (paddle shifters)

He needs one for a 2020 Camaro 6 speed manual (M6)
