Great comments. I definitely like the 3 spoke over the 4, but not sure I want to buy a new wheel and airbag to get teh 3 spoke...
Good point. The cost includes shipping back from Poland. Getting it there from the West Coast was $50.

Personally, I prefer the 4-spoke wheels in 993s. It is more period correct and fits the interior look better. By modding the wheel, you get the best of both worlds.

If I do the stitching in a different color, Ill have to do shift boot and e-brake cover. When does it stop!

I also need a new shift **** as mine is original and shows pitting.

Is covering the airbag in leather included in that price? My airbag is not leather and it might not match if it is not recovered too.

Al Z:

Do you carry your immobilizer fob/switchblade, separately? Nice crest on the wheel, by the way.

No. The photos always show a difference in the look of the airbag compared to the steering wheel. In person, the difference is hardly noticeable.

What I meant was, I see you've got the ignition key attached to a leather key fob; i.e. no immobilizer transmitter. So I thought you must keep that separate.

I see,
My car is a 1995, it does not have a transmitter. It has the good old key only.
