New 07 911 TT owner intro

Just introducing myself and car. Been lurking on forum for a few months now, love the forum. I purchased a yellow 07 TT with black interior a few months ago. All is stock. I recently had the bottom black lip and side skirts painted yellow and had yellow seatbelts installed. Also had the center console changed to yellow. I am thinking of getting a new steering wheel. I am leaning towards a DCT Motorsports thick sport wheel with flat bottom in black leather with yellow stitching and center yellow strip on top of wheel. Will post some pics soon of car. Any recommendations on steering wheels other than DCT Motorsports?
John

Welcome! Pics of the car are mandatory

DCT looks like they make some good stuff. I and several members here have the Techart wheel. More expensive, but can't beat the quality.

Welcome to the group.....I picked up my 997.1 a few months back....love the brighter colors. Where did you do your console? Did you pull it out and have it painted locally or buy one already painted. I have been searching for an orange one, just dont want to spend the $700 bucks plus.

Welcome to 6speed. I'm sure you realize by now that you have just purchased one of the best cars available. Drive it in good health.

My TechArt steering wheel in cocoa with silver stitching and carbon fiber.

Welome to 6speed, hold on to ur wallet because hanging around here will make it very easy to open it. FVD also has some really nice high quality steering wheels for Porsches. Good luck on finiding the one that fits ur personality and style. The DCT, Techart & FVD wheels all are well regarded around here on the 6. Btw, your car sounds awesome, lets see some pix!

I agree about it being one of the best cars available. And your steering wheel looks amazing!! I so have to get a custom steering wheel.
