Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm thinking of replacing the current steering wheel I have, which a black 4-spoke, with this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2451998566&category=33704 Will it fit the Boxster?

POST 2Original post

Not sure on fitment, but if you're replacing it then why not got with a three spoke? They look much nicer.

POST 3Original post

I don't think that steering wheel fits in ANY boxster! At least if it does, its a grave mistake!!! Come on! Flamingo pink???

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Lol. I thought flamingo red was the Boxster red. I want to get a 3-spoke wheel but haven't found the matching color yet.

POST 5Original post

993/986/996 steering wheels all fit each other.

POST 6Original post

1995 993's require an adaptor kit (for the electronics I believe) to fit the 986/996 wheels. All other 993 years and models will work. Obviously, Tip wheels are different, so make sure you get the right type of wheel for your car.

POST 7Original post

There is an early 993 retrofit kit for the tip shift buttons on a 4 spoke.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
