Here is a little tease, which Jim emailed me today but it is still awaiting polishing & nickel plating so it is not the final product:

Yes, a Miami Blue Targa GTS, as well as matching wheel center caps and steering wheel crest.

How do you plan on removing the one that you have and attaching the new one? I assume you need to unplug the battery and remove the steering wheel airbag... but I could not find clear instructions about swapping the crest itself.

Someone else just applied it directly over the existing one on the steering wheel, but needed to bend it slightly so it would lie flat against the one on the airbag. I am not worried about it coming off in an accident but if someone was they would need to take the airbag off and try and remove the crest.

If you put it over the existing airbag crest, wouldn't that double the width of it? Is the new wheel crest hollowed out in order to glue it onto the existing crest?

I won't know until I get it since I am just going by what someone else here did who posted a pic, etc.; maybe he will chime in if he sees this thread and extrapolate.

Do you remember when you ordered/paid for it? Jim told me I was looking at 4-6 weeks but I told him I was in no rush and that he could take his time. But it would give people an idea of how long it takes to get one; matching sets will take longer.

Thanks, and if the quality of what everyone has been getting is the same I will have no complaints.

Installed! About 10 minutes and I used 3M double sided tape after reading posts on this thread. I got a couple of fingerprints on it, but perfect color match.

Why is there so much white coming through on the red paint - is it supposed to be that way? For example on the PORSCHE lettering..
