Nope, I have it, but won't be able to install it until I'm back home in 3 weeks. But I did install my Installed my new steering wheel in the hotel parking lot Friday morning, and LOVE IT !!!
Currently in Boone, NC, on my 4th day on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Sunny every day, temps in mid 20's. Boxster is an absolute joy. Lots of compliments (some even asking if they can take a photo) and waves from other Porsche owners, as well as MG and Alfa owners.
I will meet my co-pilot in Oklahoma on Thursday night (Friday is her birthday - I've booked a corner booth at McDonald's) then we'll head up Route 66.
Life is good.

I know you do, Roger, but it seems obvious that Guenter's w*rk days are long behind him
It's a good thing Michelle has money so the G-man can pay for that 981.
Yup. I leave my w*rk days behind me one at a time by 7 PM these days.

I can say w/o a doubt the process is definitely easier/simpler in 9x6 series. There are many more hidden screws and layers involved w/ rear console removal in 9x7s than on previous generations. Neither though is overly tasking... just use the nice write up by lithium (if 9x7) or B&M one if 9x6. Take your time w/ disassembly (organizing screws/trim pieces/etc.) and don't force anything. Once all the screws/layers are out, things lift out/release easily.
Good luck and enjoy
PS - someone should take their OEM alignment clip just in case a used OEM SSK come w/o it.
