Looks Great, if I did not have a MA Carbon Wheel I would use them for sure. My issue was I wanted to keep my Stock wheel because it is Heated, I plan to put it back on if I ever sell it. I bought my MA Carbon wheel used for about 40 cents on the dollar with-out a core so really less than 40 cents so to me I am just renting it, I would bet as long as I keep it in the New Condition it is currently in I will be able to sell it for the same price I paid.


Back on the Subject Congrats, they appear to do Great Work!!!!!

Thanks
What's the "Porsche Premium Smooth Leather" is as it relates to the steering wheel? Is that an option when ordering? All I know is that the leather on my stock wheel sucked. Thin and skinny, rock hard, almost glossy and for the most part lifeless.

These things are subjective but to me the quality of the leather on the Dallas wheel is far better. No comparison. But don't take my word for it. I doubt he'd stay in business getting the prices he's getting if all he does is add some padding and then dress it back up with something resembling the sh*tty stock leather.

going this route with Don. i love the DCT style as well (with the molded grips), but wanted a more 'oem' looking route. i'll be sending him the oem shift **** as well to bulk up a little.

thanks guys!

I had a 997.1 C2S and although I had the full leather interior option, the steering wheel and airbag where leatherette and would agree with your description above. There was an option for each to have them in real leather. In my 997.1 Turbo, I have the smooth leather steering wheel and airbag although they aren't on the options list so I can only assume that those come standard. The leather airbag is such a nice option to have as it's very smooth and has a rich feeling. The steering wheel is also a very smooth leather and if I would have the XPA thicker steering wheel option it would be perfect for me. I would rather keep my wheel as it is and live with the slightly smaller size than give up the quality of the leather and the seam style. That being said, the leather on your wheel is definitely MUCH better than the stock leatherette BS...
