Hello all,
I want to convert this 2011 911 Carrera S to paddle shift. What is the best kit or wheel to buy?

The only kit I know of is one made by TechArt, but it was damn near as expensive as an actual steering wheel and I don't think they make it anymore: https://rennlist.com/forums/991/9468...ton-wheel.html

As regards a steering wheel, there's a variety of 3rd parties either making their own, or modifying Porsche wheels - but they're usually on the spendy side and as regards style, it's a matter of personal taste.

Personally I'd recommend an original Porsche wheel from a supplier like https://www.suncoastparts.com/category/9972s_pdkst.html

Not sure if you mean to modify the current wheel (ie add paddles) or to switch the entire steering wheel to a paddle shift version?
Either way I agree with Karl's post above - switch to something like the Sport Design wheel from Suncoast https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/PDKPADDLE.html

I did this on mine several years back (see below) - It's a very easy 15 min DIY

Awesome guys. Thank you

You may be able to beat the price of the Suncoast wheel from either of these two depending on what they have in stock:

Also gives you the option to customize the thickness, color of stitching and leathers or alcantera of your choice. Might be worth a couple of phone calls. I'd be surprised if they can't beat $1,400 by a fairly wide margin as long as they have the wheel you want in stock.

I am in the process of doing this conversion. I am installing a 991.1 sport wheel on my 2009 997.2 C2S. I was able to find a wheel at a junk yard In LA
for $800.00. I’m having it reupholstered in cocoa brown and then it’s a plug and play install (original wheel is not mutlifuction).
