I got so used to the button I enjoy being able to change gear up and down with one hand!

Just had a 2010 paddle shift PDK Steering wheel installed on my 08 997.1 Tip Turbo Cab. It's an expensive mod but works perfect. I got the wheel customized through Vivid with a flat bottom and thicker grip. Loving it!!

I like the factory look of the Agency PDK wheel in my Tiptronic.

Hmmm. I guess my preference is the OEM wheel - by flatting the bottom, the hand rests and bottom of the wheel looks a little disproportionate.

The picture angle doesn't do the wheel justice. The hand positions molded into the Agency wheel are perfect for long aggressive drives.
That stock one is definitely great for parallel parking in front of Starbucks!

I love the OEM steering wheel but I was trying to get it from Suncoast and they couldn't recommended it....

"I can't recommend the 997.2 paddle steering wheel at the moment. Some folks have been able to complete this upgrade, some haven't. It would require dealer installation and activation, but we still can't verify it will operate properly or if there will be dash warning lights. Wish I had a better answer, but there appears to be an electronic gremlin in the cars which prevents proper functionality."
