Any Porsche dealers and service manager in SoCal that is knowledgeable with the 991.2 steering wheel upgrade, or is mod friendly?
i called a couple of Porsche dealers, all do not know about the possibility of upgrading 991.1 to 991.2 steering wheel. They also said I have to get the parts from them in order to do any install. Perhaps I'm not talking to the right people. Any SoCal good dealer recommendations would be appreciated!

The vendor can do it either way. The reason I went with the cross stitching is because this is the way Porsche does deviated stitching.
Here is a photo I took at the Porsche Exclusive Studio at the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta last November. This is a genuine factory wheel. I copied this stitching.

Porsche genearlly does Hex pattern stitching for same tone color:
and Diamond stitching on contrast color:
We believe it's done for two reasons:
1. Hex on contrast color looks too busy.
2. The leather area under stitching will inevitably wrinkle up a bit, and it will look obvious with Hex+Contrast.
We're glad OP used factory stitching. Happy Client = Happy RRS

Actually on 991.2, only GT sport steering wheel that is done in diamond pattern, other wheels in hex, does not matter if it is deviating or not.

I got the wheel installed. Just as some context:
1) GT Sport wheel with 360mm reduced diameter over normal wheel
2) Modified by RRS Motorsports with thicker rim all the way around, Carrera Red pointe-crosse stitching and 10mm Carrera Red band at top of wheel
3) Leather steering column with Carrera Red deviated stitching from Exclusive Option
4) Replaced the black outer trim which is how the GT Sport wheel is setup with the silver outer trim from the GT3 RS or GT4 steering wheels to create a look where all the spokes are fully metal in appearance and not a mix of metal and matte black plastic.
Overall I am super happy with the upgrade:
1) It looks stunning and it is unique. I haven't seen any Porsche wheel the same as this yet.
2) RRS Motorsport did a very nice job with the modifications. I love the thicker rim which feels superb. The workmanship is also as good as Porsche OEM.
3). Also the short throw paddles are amazing.
Part numbers:
Steering Wheel (leather 991.2 with paddles, no mf, no SC, plain black rim with black stitching): 9P1-419-091-FD-A34
Silver outer trim piece for steering wheel: 95B-419-732-GT8
Leather Airbag for Macan (works with 991 as well): 95B-880-201-A-A34
