Can you post a pic of them in your car?
These are the exact ones I'm going to buy for my all black interior 997.

I'll post some after I get back from dinner. They really look nice. Its even amount of black and tan squares. So it could be used on black or beige to break it up a bit

Received my new wheel!

From Ledermanz (on eBay). Specs are thicker (~115mm) grip, flat bottom, smooth leather all around, grey stitching. I really hummed and hawed over whether to add a red or yellow stripe up at 12 o'clock but decided against it.

Sending him my wheel to recover was cost prohibitive because of shipping costs, so I bought a wheel from him complete. No core, and I can keep my original wheel too. Even though my build sheet says the wheel is thicker, at about 110mm circumference, it was about 5mm thinner than my other cars, so thus I specified 115mm for my build.

How much does something like that cost?

€700 including the wheel and shipping. It's a bit cheaper - I think in the €400 range - if you send him your own wheel to be redone. For me, to do that was nearly as much as the extra cost for buying the wheel outright so hence my decision.

Randomly looked down at the odometer while waiting at the drive thru bank teller. Good timing.

The Porsche dealer was never able to get my parts installed in time so I took matters into my own hands (installed pics to come with upgraded handbrake and rear attachment in leather)

Walked to the two car garage where my 997 is being stored for the winter. Took the cover off, unhooked the battery tender and went for a 45 minute drive with over inflated tires. It was great to have it out. Reversed the above and went back home.

Left side door latch switch replacement, so tore down entire outer inner, sealed interior cleaned all surfaces. Replaced switch and reassembled door. Voila it works perfectly no more window or interior light or alarm issues. No Durametric needed. Next new suspension install and Fabspeed exhaust plus new 02s.

Not sure if I have posted on this thread in a while. Over past week or so, got new 997.2 key to replace my cracked .1 key.

Added new front bumper. Also replaced the passenger side airbag sensor at same time (good timing for that to go bad). Added screens to front bumper as well. LuminX headlights. Went to CC today (poor turnout due to weather) The silver .2 is my friends. Bottom pic is before LuminX install
