GT4 Alcantara Steering Wheel into a 997.1 gt3
Went to a car event last week.....
There was a beautiful 997.1 GT3 RS (2007) with a alcantara 718 GT4 steering wheel, yellow 12 O'Clock Stripe.
Beautifull upgrade ! Forgot to take a picture
Anyone here did the same?
If yes is there a DIY, is it just plug and play or is there some modifications required (cable horn Airbag,....)

Definitely looks out of place. Just re-wrap your original and make it a bit thicker.

I'm still playing with the idea to swap the steering wheel...as shown above
I know a nice gt3 steering wheel with airbag for 2600 Euro's ... but then it needs also modification for removing the paddles....
Maybe first try to find a new owner for this handbrake (It's by the way new):

If the conversion was a simple plug and play, I'd consider a 991 GT3/RS wheel swap. Smaller diameter/thicker wheel looks and feels miles better than the one in the 997 gen, IMO. With the paddles and airbag, I can't imagine it's an easy or inexpensive mod.

I have a thick wheel on all my other cars and feel that the thin wheel is better suited for the lightweight front end of the 911's

A 991.2 GT3 would be available without paddles for those who didn't know this.

No. The prior poster is saying that since the 991.2 GT3 is available with a manual transmission this wheel can be purchased without paddles as well as with paddles. Check availability on Suncoast.

Yup. I understood what he was saying. I was just asking if there is a difference between the 991 GT3 and RS wheels aside from the paddles? If I were to ever go this route (highly unlikely), I'd obviously prefer to get an RS wheel.
