Programed the new 01-04 tpms wheel sensors from inside the car. Was much easier this way since i don't have my wheels in yet and wanted to make sure everything with the new system worked correctly. I labeled them so i know which one goes on which wheel. Sure was nice to hear that horn honk after each one. Btw I used a tiny neodymium magnet that's smaller than a dime to program and it worked just fine.

Thank you my man! Your car is just insane and I have a looooong way to go to catch up…but maybe your just a little worn out from stressing over saftey concerns about getting rid of your air bag Which thanks by the way cause I'm so dying for a MOMO now and spent the better part of the evening hunting down the ones I like best LOL

yeah there are a few on here that are dead set on how they think things should be, I've gotten used to it, it's just how it is, there are a bunch a great guys here that makes owning a Corvette fun for sure.
I was looking at some (steering wheel) on ebay today myself, you can find em pretty reasonable, the cool thing is if you don't like one you can swap it out pretty easy once the hub is in place.

That's true. As long as the hub is in place just a few Allen screws and it's off. I was looking at the MOMO Eagle and kept going back to it. Been thinking bout that hub too. Got a couple ideas on modifying the (imo) ugly momo one with some fiberglass or carbon fiber and resin.

After being told by FedEx that the driver left my new drilled and slotted rotors and pads at the door in front of the ups store. They were found and I was more than happy to go pick them up

From what I've read the C6 tpms will not work with the c5 pcm. That will not be fun to switch out
