Tonight i installed the 997 shifter and pulled out the short shifter. Funny thing was that the nuts on either side of the short shifter had come off. I replaced the shifter with the 997 shifter and it feels good the slop is easier to drive with. The thing i liked about the short shifter was you really felt it lock in gear.
I replaced the parking brake with this wood brake i found on ebay for 99$. Now im questioning whether to pay 300 and get a matching shifter or reupholster my old ebrake and sell the wood one. The nut under the brake was a pain to tighten and remove.
Finally i replaced the center console. I don't remember this job being so difficult in my boxster. Two mistakes i made were not connecting the alarm to the arm rest cover and not filing down the plastic near the brake. Needless to say it has already scraped it. Ill need to get some leather dye to repair it. Ill connect the alarm when i upgrade the nav to an avic z140 and run the ipod cable down the center console.
What do you guys think of the wood? Should i get a matching shifter or revert back to plain leather with the possibility of someday going full carbon. I will never really buy any more wood parts as its just not a look that i like, but i dont mind it in the hand brake and shifter. Anyway here are the pics.
