Thanks. I believe the race tex would look better than the leather. I guess I’ll just wait until it becomes available again. I hate all the aluminum silver, blinds me when driving.

no convincing needed here! I’ll get it right now but looks we’ll have to wait until 2023. That looks really good. Looks like you went with race tex? How does the steering wheel feel? And do you really need racing gloves with it? Been looking into some racing gloves as well since my steering wheel is leather and I want a softer feel.


okay! I want racing gloves now haha. What brand do you have and how do you like them?

Cool

Made in Italy by Outlierman. Pricey but worth it.

Also comes in fingerless, but I find that moot especially if you have an Alcantara steering wheel where you're trying to keep your sweat and oils off the steering wheel.

Initially, I had my doubts on whether I should spent so much on a pair of driving gloves. But my concerns were unfounded.

It's very thin, very well made, very comfortable with no fray or uneven stitching inside and out. Most importantly, they are not hot or stuffy at all. Summer is well and truly blazing here in Japan and I have no problems wearing them for long drives.

They fit true to size, they don't stretch like leather, so you need to make sure you order them in the right size.

If you sign-up for a new account, you will get a small discount. The owner is also highly responsive to any questions you have and can lower the invoice so you don't have to pay as much import duty when it arrives in-country.

Thanks! I’ll look into this. They seem high end.

Is your T that you installed this kit on a 991.2? Thanks

Yep, a '18. I'm pretty sure all T's are dot 2's...

(I also did this on my dot 1 TTS coupe, which my son now has, and the installation is the same)

Found mine for my 991.2 used on eBay for considerably less than new. A bonus is the Carrera tag as it came off a manual 991.1. I purchased the button trim piece from Suncoast. If purchasing used make certain the clips aren't broken.

Looks great. Do you know if that is the grey or blue stiching? Kind of looks like both...😳

I have a black/platinum interior and I'm hopeful the grey stiching would match closely enough. Bummer that supply is so short on these.

Wow I had not considered just buying the manual boot and **** for the 991.2 and swapping. I don’t like the PDK shifter very much, so I wonder if it would be possible to convert the manual **** **** to work on the PDK…hmmm
