gbree, looks good! How much did you have to "work it"? Looks like you worked the tape edges into the wheel indentation as the edges look rounded.

Those with alcantara that want to use the tape, why not layer it with something underneath to prevent residue. Assuming you can make it tight enough and seal it behind the wheel where it isn't visible.

I don't know about this. I like the idea of the contrast but steering wheels bake in the sun, the adhesive is going to penetrate the leather quickly especially with heat or it will remove the finished surface of the leather when removed if it is a strong adhesive. Lastly the steering wheels picks up oils from your hands and so will the tape over time and start looking nasty. Not the prettiest pic for a $100K plus car. I do applaud your effort though.

I'm going to put tape at the 6:00 position. Is this OK?
I'm more of a morning person, anyways. Plus, I can't barley see up high to the 12:00 position.

Lol at all of these responses. I decided to take mine off, not because I'm worried about putting tape on a Porsche, but because I didn't like the feel of it whenever it happened to touch my hands.

That said, I still won't be using it.
