Boxster Shift Knob - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I would like to replace the shift knob on my '97 Boxster since it looks so plain with something a little more updated. Anyone have any ideas on any websites that I could order from? Any help will be appreciated.

You cza see some on

www.ebay.com. Type in "Porsche Boxster" and work through the 20+ pages. You'll see some!

You'll find the rare 5 speed silver and leather shift knob on Ebay. I paid a scant $65 for mine... but others went for far more. It's due to the rarity of them.

Of course, you can buy aftermarket but it LOOKS aftermarket. And, you can order one from a dealer... the one in Oregon is cheapest, but it won't be cheap.

It's a good mod though. I'm glad I did it on my 97 because it makes the interior look five years younger. I also upgraded to a used 3 spoke wheel, and now I'm doing the litronics as well as white gauge faces and aluminum trim rings.

I thought I posted this, but Iguess it did not go..

Why not get a 911 knob from your dealer. They have a bunch lying around as the 911 guys usually upgrade. Mine was free... worth a try..
