As soon as the avg temp here reaches 22 degree (spring) we'll be able to crack on with this custom interior. Free (friendly) custom job but the napa and full porsche new carpets were not the cheapest unfortunately :/ Should be nice tho....
should becomes a nice combination.... i´m curios how it will looks when finished.

Oh me the first you have no idea! I may need your professional services at some stage for something else anyway so…. definitely keeping in touch.

I have to say tho.... my steeeeering wheel of choice will still remain my blade's one. I find it much easier and natural to deal with inertia at over 280km/hr with sticks

have only had my box for a few months, but would eventually like a thicker rimmed wheel. what wheels are available for the 986 that keep the airbag? not interested in going the non-airbag momo/sparco route.

Brad, these airbag-steeringwheels are all available in 320mm or 340mm diameter, those are standard models, no custom made or personalized.

Spyder - you obviously don't keep up with the official forum NEWS! Everybody already spent all they money on ims bearings at their independant pcar garage.

It is such a scare that you will almost get flamed if you do 1 (one) mod on your car without doing the, now famous, IMS retrofit

spyder, are the wheels available with a porsche crest and leather like the the earlier pics? i know that anything is possible, but i'm not looking to spend a fortune on just a steering wheel.

Brad, you can get the wheel exactely personalized what you wish for. In Germany it is not allowed to put the porsche crest on our wheels, but our own crest has same measurements like the oem... but ours is just stuck and it can easily exchanged.

There´s a lot of options that we offer and so we can realized every personal wishes from customers. to become an "economic" value, it is possible to cover only the airbag module with leather... but keep in mind... we use the porsche nappa leather, the wheels from the latest images are only covered with standard automotive leather... you will see the different between quality.
