My 992 GTS order has the GT Steering wheel. There is a black 12 O'clock Marking on the wheel. Is there a way to configure it so the marking matches the deviated stitching? Or alternatively, is there any after market products to replace it with a colored marking?

lol. Ya that works for older track cars, but this is will be my "modern" track car and am looking for a cleaner look.

The red is almost a perfect match. If you apply it carefully it looks perfect. It may take you a couple of tries to pull it tight enough to get it the exact right width. If you don't like it then you are only out a couple of bucks. I switched from red to yellow for better contrast. Once you get used to having a 12 o'clock, it seems naked without,

I wouldn't mess with it, but I assume a good leather shop can probably paint it. After all, the leather surfaces are all painted anyways.

Not sure how this would turn out- but I would try a thin Sharpie in a nice contrasting color and tape both sides of the wheel so only the stitching shows and carefully color in the stitching on both sides of twelve o'clock markers. Please no flames-just an idea.

Use gaffers tape, you can get it in yellow.

Try this brand instead, effectively Gaffers tape: https://a.co/d/7ULuMzS

If you're covering it on suede this will match it a little bit better since it's made out of a "vinyl coated cloth", so its matte. Bonus is that it should be the perfect width.

However, on leather, I think the 3M 1080/2080 auto vinyl wrap might look better (shiny). Downside is that you're going to have to cut if yourself.

Gaffers tape.
Had it in red on my 991.2 for 4 years with NO damage to the leather. I now use yellow on my Targa GTS. .

Measure, cut width with scalpel and apply. Surface texture not shiny.... looks like leather.

Do you need the other 54.9 yards, or can your RL brothers get a piece if we send a self addressed and stamped envelope?

CXX option.

About 4k (at least that was the price for the 991 GT3)

Does it leave any residue when you take it off?

It certainly does. Used tape on my track cars back in the day, always left a mess on the wheel. Doesn’t matter on a stripped out crapper but I’d think twice on nice 200k 992…

I used this from Amazon for $2.49.
It was extremely easy to apply and left no residue when I removed it a year later to check.

I found that the pin stripe tape worked best with being in the sun. 1/4 in was PERFECT. The glue was not a problem! ...
Ive used another tape on a previous car and had to replace it often because the glue would melt. It's very easy to clean if so.... but best to buy better quality (amazon link above)
