Now does anyone know where you can get the aluminum trim that hugs the base of the shift boot? Been looking for that.

I answered the question in my post above. Go to www.carnewal.com, and then click on INTERIOR, and then click on P86. Then, you can find various knobs and boots. Here's the direct link to the horseshoe trim with the boot:

How funny I just bought this same shifter. The call Suncoast they'll give you a better deal. It's the best looking shifter I've seen for the Boxster but the trim looks good with it too.

Not for everyone I realize but I went this route

blue piping to match my interior, easy to make this look factory at the base with stock pieces

With this knob

I love it, as a Sicilian I can tell you the Italians know leather my friends, at 150 it spanks the factory unit IMO.

Is that knob a direct fit for the factory shifter, or did you need to do some rigging to get it to fit properly? The price is right.

The attachment system consists of three Allen heads, in a triangular fashion, which secure an "under nipple" which the knob then attaches to. I don't recall whether it fits over the factory end as I elected to trim a small amount off the end of my shifter. After owning the car long enough I decided about 1.5" less on the shifter was optimal for me instead of going with a quick shift kit. It's nice and light and the quality is excellent IMO.

FYI in the ad it says 16mm or less shaft, call for fitment. this place has some awesome knobs, pick some you like and call for fitment, good luck..


Look at this bad boy

Does it bother any of you that the reverse position is wrong? I'm not suggesting that you'll forget how to reverse, but rather that it would be nice to have it set correctly.
