Just a suggestion...for the cost of a new Porsche steering wheel you can swap out your steering wheel with a sport steering wheel and keep the airbag.

They will do a core exchange

Example: DCT MOTOR SPORTS www.dctms.com Porsche carbon alcantara leather sport steering wheels

I saw that, thanks so much. Actually it's the triangular airbag that doesn't much appeal to me. No big deal, I'll just keep it. Just a thought.

I really like mine. Note the flat bottom, which provides for a nice increase of thigh room.

Very Nice - I regret not going that route. I was being cheap at the time. I ended up installing a MOMO steering wheel. Love the steering wheel but keeping the integrity of the car was probably better.

True dat. But it does help considerably while entering and exiting.

Once seated, you are on your own.

Thanks - DM

Bought on eBay maybe 18 months ago. A quick search there just now on "986 steering wheel" shows a number of different variations on this same theme.

Reason why I bought this particular model was due to the blue stitching.

If you -really- can't find one like it there now, let me know and I'll rummage thru my receipts so to see if I can find the particular seller (who, of course, may or may not have any available left today).

But yeah, I really do like it a lot as it is something that you touch and feel every time that you drive the car.

Thanks - DM
