Techart offers two different types of finish for their CF trim on their steering wheel. Smooth clearcoat or matte clearcoat. My original steering wheel had the matte finish and it felt rough and not quite "shiny" like OEM. I was able to get the correct "smooth clearcoat" version eventually which matches the OEM CF trim pieces. Make sense?

What parts are you getting from Porsche? The common ones are shift ****, handbrake and once in a while the console. Check with Techart on the steering wheel - the 997 uses 'standard' carbon where as most Porsche steering wheels I've seen use 'twill' - the same carbon used on the 996. You'll want to ask them because the twill will for sure not match.
I ordered the the Belt Outlet B Pillar, Door Finishers, Switch Panel Package, & Illuminated Door Entry Guards. I also ordered the trim strip from Prosche Tequipment. Planning on ordering the steering wheel from TechArt and then adding the mirror triangles and the ignition surround aftermarket hence three different carbon sources.
