Gutting a 98 Boxster for a Race car

[Soarsimon]

Interested in the shifter boot if it’s not all dried out. Also do you have the little flip covers for the sun visor mirrors?
Thanks!

If you can tell me how to get the shift boot off without destroying it you can have it.

I do have the little flip covers on the visors but they didn't stay snapped shut.

Haha, I don’t have a clue! I’m new to boxsters and to the forum as I just got a ‘97. I’m just looking for bits to complete mine and hoped I could figure it out...

Actually looks very easy. 4 clips at the corners of the boot that “pop” off. Put the shifter in fourth gear and the shift knob and boot just pull straight up and off!

I’ve got to say that so far, any question I’ve had about my boxster has been quickly solved by you guys or by YouTube. I love it!

Ok, that looks easy enough to get off. I need to keep the knob, but if the boot is in good enough condition for you can have it with the sun visors. $25 total plus shipping. I'll post a picture tomorrow.

I tried today to get the shifter off and I can't get it off. I pulled pretty hard and was afraid I'd break something. So I'm just going to cut it off.

Sorry

Best way is to put the top down, 1 leg in each leg area and pull up.

Yes, that is correct. It will come off. Do not hit yourself in the face but it will come off.

Hey if you had to cut the boot off but the plastic clips are still intact I would be interested. I have an aftermarket shift knob but during the install my plastic clips broke off and haven't found a great way to keep it fully attached. Let me know!
