Guys havea look at this product from that company.. If I didn't know that it was a steering wheel cover I'd say that it looks like a condom with some sort massage function..

You know if you get that cover, cut it so that it is a straight line, then it could be a very interesting toy for your love one

Pilot sells the adaptor for $15.99. I compared it with Grant and they are exactly the same thing.

Does the dish on this wheel with the adapter match pretty close with the OEM wheel? It looks pretty about the same in your photo. My son has long arms and he would hate for the wheel to be any closer than it is now.

The steering wheel with the adapter is actually a couple of inches CLOSER to the dash. Which means more room for long arms.

Thanks,
I still have my 1" and 1/2" spacers from the last owner if I need to fine tune it some. It's really a graet looking wheel for the money

For the Porsche crest, I have heard of people using 356 hood badges (smaller than 944 hood badge). Vendors this side of the pond sell them so should be readily available over there.

Expensive steering wheels do not always denote high quality. My Momo is of no better quality that Grant wheels I've seen at Pep Boys. And the yellow Momo horn button fits perfect, which makes me wonder who makes Grants wheels, or viceversa?
