XPA steering wheel.
I am weak...saw the XPA steering wheel on a car very similar to mine and had to have it.
Also did the red tail lights at the same time. Both very nice upgrades.
Worth the cost--who knows?--but since this is a Porsche -- the terms worth the cost and Porsche options should not be used in the same sentence.
HOWEVER, I am very pleased with both minor mods. Just adds to the total enjoyment.
The heck with my kids--let them earn their own $$$( I did)...LOL

I was more interested in seeing Jerry's ride specifically. But, perhaps it's just me, I thought we all would jump on the opportunity to share pictures of our cars. 
It's a sickness we all share, right?

That is encouraging, although they don't look the same thickness. I may have to measure them.

Keninirvine asked: Can I assume that the alcantara covered sport steering wheel (CLA) that comes on the GT3 is not as thick as the XPA?
Correct - the Alcantara wheel is not a thick, or particularly padded wheel.

My GT3 was ordered with the thicker leather wheel, which I swapped for the GT3RS wheel. I just measured both at 4 different points with a digital caliper. The GT3RS wheel was within 0.2 mm at each point to the thicker leather wheel.
