Nice, now you have me thinking GTMF steering wheel is the way to go with the wood rather than the wood wheel.

Much prefer the silver trim in the OP than the black.

Do wish they still allowed a black tach to be speccd on new Carreras/GT3s.

What kind of radar detector scaffolding is that? And what keeps it in place?

Bean bag mount. Needs better attachment but easy to grab the baseball cap behind the seat and throw over it when I want it out of sight. Stays in place quite well.

There's some new 992 spy shots that show a multi-function version of the GT2RS steering wheel so I'm guessing that styling is where they are going for the 992.

I rid my car of some when I built it, it could use a little more gone. A little CF replacements would look good if available.

the only part of the silver/chrome trim that really bothers me is that piece around the gear selector, sometimes the reflection of the sun can hit directly to my eyes while I am driving on a super sunny day. I regret not getting the brush aluminium trim, but soon I might get some brush aluminum vinyl wrap to get this issue fixed

Does anyone know how the silver trim around the door pull handle is attached? Can it be removed and snapped back on?
