M5 Its mahagony. It is the factory option on everything but GT and GTS. Drifting, I may still do the trim and ****, but I sort of like just the wheel with the leather dash trim.
A true unicorn GT3! Big fan of wood myself; am slowly swapping wood parts into my 997 as they appear on ebay.
My patience paid off and a very nice 2RS owner sold me his take off black center which was replaced with the carbon fiber. Debating whether to use the bolt inserts or the plain ones. I am leaning toward the non-bolt ones as it is more conservative.
I briefly thought about painting my silver center body color (I am getting colored nipples from rstrada love those guys so I could have mailed it to get it painted), but I think that would have been a bit too much.
So bolt style inserts or non-bolt style inserts? What sayeth the Rennlist style police?
Next, you need to remove the six (two per each front insert) T10 torx screws to remove each of the three front inserts. The bottom one traps the wires so it has to come off while everything is sort of still together. Do that one first. It will be obvious what I am talking about when you see it.
sweet write up! Just confirming these little guys are T10 as I need to order that bit and want to make sure I order the right one!
I have a ryobi kit of screw and assorted bits from Home Depot and a craftsman magnetic bit holder screw driver thing. One of those bit assortments has been invaluable. Not sure why everyone keeps coming up with new fasteners ....
Bob Z., It matches the vents I did not get covered in leather ... at least that is what I am telling myself because I know the speedy airbag will be mega bucks.
so, I can just buy the CF wheel from Suncoast and use it on my RS?
It would be nice to have multifunction on the wheel though.

so if there's no wires on the gt3 stalk for the control box loom..... there's no sense in connecting/ transferring the control stuff as it simply wont work.... good. I was debating whether to cause having pcm control would be ok with me but....
Had to get yellow stitching done at local upholstery shop to match my deviated stitching motif.....
If you either buy the MF delete parts or swap them from your current wheel, yes, you can buy the CF wheel from suncoast and use it on your RS. So far no one has figured out how to enable MF on a GT car.
That's a great look with the blue inserts! I've looked but can't rally find it, if you (we) have the GT3 wheel and just want to replace the front spoke inserts, why does the entire wheel need to be taken apart? why can't the 2 hex screws just be remove and the piece replaced? thanks for any input.

Which wheel are you referring to? If it is the Sport wheel that has what appear to be 2 screws on each of the 3 inserts DO NOT try to unscrew them since they are decorative only!

Those screws dont actually hold them on. They are purely decorative screws. . Of course, if you unscrew them, they come out and then cant go back in without disassembly.
