Replace that nasty mushroom shifter!
If you have a 5 speed and want a newer style shifter, here's one on ebay:

I got one and love it. Much better than that ugly round one that came on older boxsters.

That would be nice but I think alot of people forget about the aluminuim knob route. I have it and other Boxster owners asked if it was aftermarket because they havent seen it before. It can be had for a low price from a junkyard,I bought my matching aluminuim knob and hand brake for $75 including shipping. Just a thought. Sorry about the low quality pic but you get a idea.

purty nice Blinkwatt!

try some Klasse VLRP on your black plastic
http://search.store.yahoo.com/cgi-bin/nsearch?catalog=autogeek&.autodone=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.autogeek.net%2Fnsearch. html&query=klasse
just spent 5 hours detailing the car inside and out after a bad snow storm.


and keep an eye out for polished gauge rings on ebay, they'll go nicely with your ebrake and shift knob.

So let me get this straight Perfectlap...are you telling Blinkwatt that he needs to polish his knob?

denverpete, it might not be a threaded fitment, I think it is a compression/friction fitment.
