Thanks for all the info posted previously. I posted my install steps. Everyone proceed at your own risk. I have no formal Porsche training. I just followed previously posted info.
My dealer quoted me over 1800 when i called back in early 2010. Did it myself for about half that. If you have the tools it didn't take over 20 minutes of actual labor.
Oh yeah new to this forum but have been lurking. Thanks for all the great info.

Sorry Mods if posted in wrong place. Can be moved to DIY thread.

 

That is an excellent job you did.........nice clear pics and instructions! You definately get the first set of rep points for this!

 

Thanks. This may be a stupid question but what are Rep points?

 

See the little green box to the right.... basically its a "atta boy" kinda deal......although it can go the other way when you get some folks that have nothing to contribute and are just plain tools.

(Even the paddle wheel just looks better to start with)

 

Nice job man! And a very very nice steering! Hope they will come out something for Manuel!!!

 

Awesome write up!

Major kudos.. well done, and very well documented.

 

+1. Agree with everyone here - especially because it closely relates to an earlier question that I had asked as well.

Very informative. Thanks for posting.

 

Very nice. This has made my decision on whether or not to do this much easier. Now the only hard part will be waiting for the kit to arrive once I order it.

 

This may seem odd but I'm thinking of putting the same wheel on my 06 C2S. Before you think I'm totally insane, I know I'll be changing to a PDK car in the next year or so anyway so I'll just bring it with me when I change. Mine's a manual so the paddles will be utterly useless but I just *love* the wheel design and feel.

Great job with the pics, thanks for that

 

That new wheel looks great. Thanks for the DIY, and congratulations on saving nearly $1,000!

 

how much better is it than the push button setup?

 

Personal preference. Definitely a better looking wheel and I prefer the paddles. Porsche engineers may disagree. It just feels better.

 

Great job man! I've been debating on whether to change my steering wheel or not. Unfortunately, if I do change it to the ones you have, I will lose my heated steering wheel feature :-( Ryan at Suncoast did tell me a while back that the paddle shift steering wheel doesn't come with heating. Maybe, just maybe in the near future...they will come with it. One could only hope...

Wow, the installation seems pretty easy with pics and instructions. Thanks so much for sharing!
