Sorry to hear about your problems. I just swapped the wheel on my 991.1. It was a pretty simple 10 to 20 minute process. This is a project that is definitely DIY.

Absolutely shocked that a dealer caused this damage. You should hold them accountable totally unacceptable.

Anyone know how to remove the AirBag on the .2 GT wheel?

with sales and their finance department. But their service prices are also sky high. Maybe its because a friend was a service writer at JE, but their prices have been much better for me.

I have found prices vary depending on what you are doing. Since I got my car, I have done two things that I got an invoice for - programming a key (Perimeter was less expensive), alignment (Hennessy was less expensive).

Hennessy has a smoother model:
- Can email service advisor for quotes and get a response, and schedule via email. At Jim Ellis I find they don't reply to emails and I have to call them.
- Hennessy offers online payment so you can have a faster pickup when you go to get your car
- Better facilities when you are waiting at the dealership for service
- Use nitrogen on tires

Perimeter has some benefits too:
- They fixed the problem Hennessy caused with the new wheel
- Better loaner cars

However I was shocked that Perimeter doesn't have a nitrogen machine for tires. Seems odd given porsche is a performance brand.

I don't but I can tell you this - be very careful with the harness not to bend a pin, and not to break the clip on the clock spring. The clip is very delicate. Not well design IMO.

Anybody else have experience to share with swapping 911.2 steering wheel?

stealthpilot

All I can say is I'm still delighted with my upgraded wheel and glad I did it.

Did mine and its great love it. Best upgrade I've done once I finally got it settled out. MF wheel swap out won't work but the non-MF one will with the addition of the MF control stalk. Easy peasy.

Anyone has experience with this eBay seller called "911ava"?
He is selling some nice 911.2 wheels. I like this particular one:

Someone from 6 speed bought a custom wheel and it was great.

This wheel is not custom. If that airbag is vinyl not leather then this price is too high.

Nicely done. I've been requesting porsche exclusive to make GT sport wheels with garnet red stitching but no luck.

In curiosity, why the stitching differ than the porsche's 'pointe-crosse' version? As you requested or vendor limitation?

stealthpilot

The vendor can do it either way. The reason I went with the cross stitching is because this is the way Porsche does deviated stitching.

Here is a photo I took at the Porsche Exclusive Studio at the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta last November. This is a genuine factory wheel. I copied this stitching.

can I order a .2 GT wheel without mutifunction for a manual trans car?

stealthpilot

Yes - because a 991.2 can be spec'd that way. It is a 991.2 with manual, no sport chrono and no multifunction.

But I don't know the part number. If you find a car like that in dealer inventory you can have them do a part lookup using the VIN

Interesting if genuine, first time I've seen it.
They always done like how it shown on post #19.
