maybe not the greatest ever (it's a center pad, not complete wheel), but, for $ 66 including shipping...


if i had one, i might put a nice, fat leather surround on too. where's spencer ?

Something about that reminds me of an early water cooled VW horn pad. I like it.

^^^ I agree with completely. It looks way to simple.

Porsche is weird...


check out the cheesy wheel/cockpit of the new Cayman (top photo) compared to a ten year old Boxter.

That cayman dash looks like a Mini crossed with a new T-Bird.

A customer of ours at the shop put one of these horn pads on his steering wheel. It looks pretty neat, but the fitment and quality is sub-par. I will get a better look at it next time he brings it by.

I quite like the late 944 style wheel if I may say so
