    The Craft Customs portion was an interesting insight into their process.

    Nice mod my 991.1 TT have the same steering wheel like yours with option red stich, it looks great on black interior. Keep the mods going. Great way personalized your car.

    Nice job, a new or refurbed wheel really does freshen up an older car.

      I went for a drive today and the interior felt (and smelled!) brand new again.

    Congrats! I bet it feels like driving a new car! And thanks to Craft Customs for the excellent inside view of doing your wheel! I didn't think of how hard it would be to make the leather hit such tight tolerances to not be too big or too small. Looks like $450 is a deal with all that labor!

    Hi. Could you let me know the name of the company that refurbished your friends (Dutch 911) steering wheel. As I’m looking to have mine done. Thanks

    Have to say im surprised you didnt go to carbontastic but agree on being a mod that you interact with so often its well worth personalizing

    • @AutoAmateur
      @AutoAmateur  3 года назад +1

      Hahahah. It took a lot of self control to not go CF nuts on the wheel.... but you know... I can always replace the center / 3-spoke trim in CF at a later date... ;-)

    Did you keep the battery disconnected for the weeks the steering wheel was being redone?

    • @AutoAmateur
      @AutoAmateur  3 года назад

      No, I had to connect it up once or twice. But when it came to the install, the battery was disconnected.

    Hi James.
    Hope you’re good. Very interesting video. Wheel looks great and I want to do this on the GTS. Q: What size 12 Point spline bit should I look for?

    • @AutoAmateur
      @AutoAmateur  3 года назад +2

      That's a good question! My bolt needed the 12mm size.

    Nice job. I assume they can add padding to make it thicker? How much was your wheel? Thanks!

    • @AutoAmateur

      Absolutely! Mine was around $450 to $500 plus shipping.

    Super job, very informative James. I changed my leather standard wheel to the RaceTex GT version and also changed the trim pieces to black. I LOVE the final look and feel of the RaceTex. Doing these mods, including changing all the interior trim pieces to CF are so important to making the car your own. I love my Cayman S!

    Ok just started watching this video. What are the odds we get to see a knife in the middle before the end? I’m sorry but I did enjoy your last steering wheel video.

    • @AutoAmateur

      Hahahaha. Thankfully the 991 wheel was unharmed during the making of this video. I'm about to make a 996 wheel removal video.... wish me luck!
