Thanks for all the ideas. I'm sure I'll be post what my next project is.

Depends, Porsche anything can be fancy, but then mine came with both air bag support and paddle shifters (got a fliptronic now). 320mm. Certainly wasn't cheap at the time.

New ones are affordable, the same essentially w/ airbag. Heavy as you wont believe lollll works man - a sport car must sorry

Silberpfeil 320mm perforated leather - Carnewal

Pros: all of them - can't stop driving
Cons: 50% vision lost on the dash gauges, fault lights are plenty visible for my needs!)

Somehow that sound kinda dirty.

LOL

could be 340mm also, memory failure, I'd need to check. Measure yours and see what's available for you.

"Tasteful" is a matter of opinion. :D

This one is extremely useful and has the appearance of being "hi-tech", but is actually very simple the way that I designed it. ;)

Any fans of below CGT kit here? because that is prety easy to do (layered red oak?). Looking at a $40~50 replica here. Dipped in Dupon's crystal included lolll

What was the original reason for using the wood? Wasn't it claimed to be lighter?

Aluminum gauge rings are an easy way to spruce up the interior:

particlewave, how did you change the instrument cluster illumination?
Is it just the bulb, or did you replace the LCD's?

Just bulbs on the earlier clusters like mine (and yours). On the later clusters, you have to completely disassemble the cluster and replace surface mount mount LEDs. ;)

Well spotted, learning everyday... didn't know

:cheers:

WOW, I'm surprised how well priced this steering wheel is, especially with an airbag. I might have to look into it...

My tribute to the great 917!
