987 and GT4 Steering Wheel
It definitely fits.
I hated the 2009 steering wheel with the triangle airbag that is too thin and makes me feel like a grandpa. It took Porsche a few tries to get the design right.

Thanks. Coming from a 986 base with black gauges I'm impartial to the white gauges. The dummy lights are still visible even when they're not lit compare to black where they're not visible.

I think the 987 interior is pretty perfect for a 2 seater sports car. I moved from a 981 to the 987, two of them actually, and much prefer the 987 look. The gear shifter falls more naturally to hand, the parking brake is where you'd expect it, there is no high-rise console between the passengers (it looks just like the Macan and all the rest on the 981), and the three instrument pod has all the info you need and little more.
The wheel looks good, OP, hopefully you got it some way cheaper than list, ouch that price.

I paid a bit less than Suncoast list price with PCA discount, the kicker was the dealer wanted $1500 just for the airbag alone. I got a brand new one from an ebay vendor in Sweden for almost half that.
You can get any Cayenne/Macan steering wheel on ebay for less, but it won't have that notch on top of the wheel and I think the diameter is slightly larger.

Looks great, I bet it feels even better.
I assume the airbag connector is just plug and play? I thought about doing this on my car a few months ago but wasn't sure about that.

No reason to believe it didn't come that way!

I haven't owned that car for several years now, but don't recall that being a detraction for me, although I can see how it could be for others. When goofing around on the configurator these days I often spec the Ferrari-esque yellow gauges and now I'm curious if the emergency lights show through on that color as well.
