"De-wooded" some of my interior

changed the horse-shoe, bat wing, gear shift, and e-brake to carbon fiber. switched the center console to alcantara. Still have a fee pieces to go to finish the project, but damn have you seen the price for carbon fiber side vents and a steering wheel . pretty staight forward job, except my storage lid will not latch played with it for a while just can't get the adjustment right. I will all come together when I swap out my seats for some 997 alcantara painted back sport seats.

I believe so. I'll check my sticker when I get home. Was ordered by the PO and I've never been a big fan.

I've never been a fan of the wood interior so I applaud your efforts! Regarding the steering wheel, you might do better to sell and replace it for a leather wheel. I had a carbon wheel on my car and couldn't stand it, and I ultimately traded it for a leather steering wheel plus cash. Perhaps you could do something similar? Good luck to you!

Yes, the steering wheel carbon fiber will crack after a while. I replaced it a few years ago with a new OEM carbon fiber wheel, and it is starting to come back.
