I did a core exchange for a new Wheel, Shifter, Arm Rest and Ebrake for under $1k using https://www.ebay.com/str/dctmotorsports
The results are amazing. Extra padding in the steering wheel and I chose to use leather as the center line on the wheel and rest in Alcantara. Plug and play. Really changed the interior.
I kept checking eBay daily and finally one popped up in Australia for a decent price. I paid more for shipping than for the item itself but still it was less than what European sellers were asking. Just search for 99761328901 in there.
Thanks. Given how many people have done this, I was beginning to think that I missed out on some big secret, as buying new and going to a dealer seemed to look like a better options. LOL
Finally after many searches I was able to find a complete OEM 991.2 smaller GT wheel with the black trim in my color with an airbag! It came as a PDK wheel but I purchased the manual rear cover (95B-419-798-B-5Q0) and removed the PDK paddles.
Can't wait to get this installed!!! Since my car is a 2009 (1.5) with the .2 black center stack I think this version will be a perfect fit and finish.
oh wait. now I see what's going on - it's a glossy carbon fiber-y leather?? Kinda weird.
It looks like a plastic carbon look material that has been stitched in the same way the leather has. Definitely not for me, it looks very faux. I'm not a fan of carbon unless it's there to save weight
Did you need to change the steering control module or clockspring at all for this? I have a 2009 997.2 that uses the "old" grounding method, so my 2010+ steering wheel horn won't work.
I have most of the parts to convert it to multifunction, but I couldn't find the control module on the column for a price I'm willing to pay. Keeping an eye out. The smaller diameter steering wheel is a massive improvement in drivability since I'm no longer bumping my knees while driving.
