I’m going to use my CG one and see how it looks. But I’ll keep it in mind.

Couldn't wait any longer to dump my plastic looking OEM 944/968 steering wheel.
Many thanks to Paul Waterloo and jsheiry for your great posts. With your instructions, you can't do anything wrong.
Apart from that. With this mod you even save weight, unsprung weight. Less weight quicker turn in.

Nice H.F.B. Looks good and feels even better, drove the tiptronic a bit the other day and love the feel with the 996 airbag wheel !

Can anyone that has performed this mod comment on whether the 996 wheel is closer to the driver than the stock 968 wheel? I could really use just a little extra knee room.
