That is a different wheel that you installed on your car. The op likes the Sport Design steering wheel which it is just a plug and play, he can even go with a multifunction wheel if he chooses, he will just have to buy the triangle airbag.

Just an FYI, it is not real aluminum but aluminum looking plastic.

Due to popular demand we are updating this post, thanks to all of you who consider Suncoastparts.com your main Porsche parts source.
First thing to do when planning to update your 997.1/987.1 steering wheel to a paddle style steering wheel is to find a shop that will be able to perform the install. Sounds simple, but many Porsche dealers will not try this upgrade because it is not authorized by Porsche. This forum might be the a great source to find the right shop who will perform the work.
After you find the right shop, you will need the following items: new steering wheel, airbag and often times a steering column control unit.
The control unit is here:
Note: Control unit, steering wheel and airbag must be programmed by a Porsche dealer with a PIWIS Tester.
