Are you looking for the official GT3 version? Or is an aftermarket Martini liveried driving glove on your radar? I'll keep my eyes peeled for you. Good luck with your search.

I can't imagine anyone driving around town with racing gloves on.

Perhaps golf gloves would suit your need.

I have porsche driving gloves that were given to me in 2005. I wore them for 5 minutes. Wearing gloves for street driving makes no sense to me unless you need them for cold hands.

Have you seen what some guys are doing to their street cars in terms of decals? Look at me!!! Look over here!!! I thought vanity plates were bull****, but the decal thing takes the cake. Well, at least until one of the poseurs drives around with special driving gloves and a color matched helmet on the street. Yup. That day is coming. And Butzi is spinning in his grave.

Hey, nothing wrong with vanity plates. I still have my 996-3 plate which will go to my 991.

Sums up the experience quite well. And as far as stickers go...perhaps not my cup of tea, but what the hell, if it makes you happy, nothing wrong with that. Most of the poseurs I see don't drive porsche. They are in a ferrari or Lambo in our neck of the woods.

The best gloves I have found for track work without paying $300 for Dale Jr Alpinestars are military fighter pilot gloves. THey are fire retardant and if they can handle a F22 they can handle the alcantara steering wheel. WHats cool is you can get them in different colors and they are the forearm length. I have bought them for as little as $9 in black. They come in tan and military green camo. You have to go to a pilots store online to get them but they last forever. They are half faux leather and half nomex material. Everyone who flies fighters and has sports cars uses them in their cars as well as their F22 or JSF (F-35). I have a smallish medium hand and I wear a 9 or medium. I kept mine from my time flying Harriers.
Here they are on EPay:

Nothing wrong with personalizing your car through plates or decals if you like. There are plenty of tastefully done examples out there. I would hate to lump everyone into the same bucket just because you may have seen some poor examples.

Rockit For the price they are VERY nice and the feel good even in the dead of cold. Like I said if you can fly a F22 with these, then your GT3 will submit nicely. AND they are FIREPROOF!
