Default Redid the GT4 steering wheel

For me the mini GT4 steering wheel iPhone video game that Porsche sent was useless. Although i though the steering wheel was kind of neat. So i took off the phone holder and put on a spare crest i had. Now i have it on a book shelf with a lot of other useless car mementos from over the years. Better than sitting in a yellow box. carl

Great Idea! How did you go about doing that? What did you use to hold the crest? Thanks!

Take all the screws out and open it. Then you unscrew the iPhone holder from the inside. The crest has an adhesive on it so you just stick it on . Can't remember where I ordered the crests from but it was in the Ukraine ! They were 8.95 for 4 plus a whole $3 for freight. But it took forever (3-4 wks) .carl. Good news I found it they can make anything. http://www.3dcarstickers.com
You may want to order before Russa invades and you have a center cap with Putens face on it.

I was actually thinking of a way to mount it to my sim rig, but I don't know if it would hold up to the torque. Would be a neat addition though.

The one I had was 62mm because I had them made for a wheel center cap. They will make them in any size you want. Seeing the company is located in the Ukraine I'd get it before Russia takes over. Then you will have a picture of Puten ridding shirtless on horseback on the center of your Gt4 steering wheel. Carl
