What did you do to your 997 today?

I bought the wheel off eBay from a seller called 911ava and found this combo, it was the steering wheel, the correct internal wiring harness, and the new airbag for 1600. It was soooo worth it for me. i could not stand the stock steering wheel. They look so old and dated. The difference this new one makes is staggering. I do also have a 991.2 wheel with the multifunction buttons too though haha! I might end up putting that one on and adding a porsche gps tech box to add multi functionality use with my PCM.
Edit: I will say too, the installation of the wheel takes about 5 minutes. Not kidding. You pop the airbag off, unclip the harness, unscrew the 55 Torx bolt, swap wheels, plug in the harnesses and torque the 55torx bolt back in. Job done. Sooooo easy.

Installed wheel spacers 7mm front and 15mm rear
Carrera S II wheels on 997.2 C2S narrow body
- Front - 8 x 19 ET 57
- Rear - 11 x 19 ET 67
Michelin PS4S
- 235/35/19
- 295/30/19
I have seen many people say 295 on 11” wide looks stretched but I feel it looks perfect. I think 305’s would bulge a little. I’d say the fronts could go with 10-12mm spacers for a more flush setup, 15mm on the rears are perfect for these wheel offsets and tyre size.
On a side note, can anyone tell from these pics whether it looks like I have Sports PASM, or regular PASM from the ride height?

Bought a new Fidelity platinum warranty that will cover the car until this time in 2026.
I got some driving to do.

Here is my car OEM with the Sports PASM and 305s before adding anything (OEM springs/No spacers...on new PS4S 305s and 235s in the front):

Took the car to the shop for a simple oil change & trans fluid change. Well it turns out not so simple after all. Got an email that there was an oil leak.
Got new RMS seal & IMS seal. Had the clutch done while they were at it. It was due anyway.
Finally pick her up and $3800 lighter on the wallet...

How many miles?
What year?
Existing warranty ?
Location can also be a factor. Some will write sight unseen - some require inspection based on the above.
For most people it may not be a viable option or an option at all.
There are two well known Fidelity sellers for Rennlist
Michael at Mossy - mjourdan@mossymotors.com
and Troy tdietrich@toyotaofgreenfield.com
Price will be about the same but I've seen that sometimes one will feel more comfortable writing a warranty on one car where the other will not.
Things that worked in my favor - low miles, an existing warranty and loads of documentation to both of those facts.
