Should have left a note on the window...Maybe you still can if you see it all the time.

The trim around the shifter is an extra, but the shifter itself looks like a Porsche Aluminum Look shifter, maybe with deviated stitching. I am sure Boxtaboy can clarify, you might try sending him a message. My Boxster came with that shifter, however they run about $300-600 used/new.

I paid $50 from DC Automotive for mine. Man was that a steal.

I haven't gone out of my way to look for them, but just from browsing on eBay they go for a lot. However, I am sure you could get one way cheaper than what I listed from someone parting a Boxster.

Yes, it will fit your car. The trick is finding the silver horseshoe trim, as not many places sell just the boot. I got mine from www.carnewal.com. He sells just the silver boot trim piece. Just go on that site and then click on interior and P86, and it will show you a variety of shift knobs/trim. Alternatively, you can wait for a used one to pop up on eBay, if you want to pick one up for less.
I also like to switch between the shifter I have above and the 987 style knob which I adapted to our 986 leather boot so that it fits our car. Suprisingly, the aluminum ball type shift knob in my first pic is real aluminum and leather, whereas the 987 shifter I got in the pic below is just plastic painted to look like aluminum with pleather on the knob. Cheapo! The silver horseshoe trim piece is also a painted plastic part in case you were wondering.

Just saw this on Ebay...not bad and it comes with the aluminum horseshoe. Only $149. You can specify 5 or 6 speed and shift pattern.
