My new custom steering wheel

I posted this on 997TT section but why not sharing here since we have same interior. So here we go.
I just installed custom carbon/leather wheel from MAcarbon. I bought it used so I didn't have to wait typical 5~8 weeks of production time. It is very thick and has flat bottom which gives me totally different feeling while I'm driving. I was impressed that such a little change gives a big improvement. Red stitching and top ring add nice accent to the interior. This is a great upgrade!


Here are couple of pics I took today. What do you guys think?

Matches nice with the rest of the carbon interior pieces.


I want a 997.2 wheel and want to add the red stitching and ring.
I was worried since I don't have any other red stitching but it doesn't look too bad since the red needles are close to the steering wheel and sort of match up.

very nice. after spending time in other 997s with lots of interior options it made me feel my car was lacking individuality! especially only being half leather


I have been adding carbon and alcantara and trying to find leather pcm stereo surrounds.. if anyone has some let me know!

Great choice. Fantastic looking steering wheel. Bet it cost a pretty penny.

Sorry to revive old post. But do you know the manufacturer and model number of that head unit?
