If up front experience is any indication of future happiness I’m going to be more than happy. I’ll update once received
Another reason I wanted to start a thread for these. I was headed down a completely different path until seeing examples from @850tgul and @RoadrunnerGTS !!
I'm so glad I was able to ask Roy so many questions after seeing their examples and get exactly what I was looking for!

Again, Roy is awesome...and his shifters are awesome. Definitely ordering another one for funsies! Just have to figure out something different!

But going back and forth with the gallery makes it a bit more visible.

If I see it clearly the GT2 version is the one that looks most like the manual I have now in the 992 T right? Was wondering about these two things on the GT2 custom version:

1. The stitching option. If you chose “no stitching” do you get the shifter as shown in the pictures above? Where the stitching is just in the back?
2. The weight difference. I have a 992 manual. Is that the light weight version? Any experience in the medium or heavy one? I would like it to be a bit more heavy but not extremely heavy so seems the medium one is the one to go. Unless the standard one is already medium.

Of course I will consider mailing Roy as suggested here. But before doing so just wanted to ask here.


EDIT: turns out this company is in the Netherlands 80 miles from my home lol
yes

I just wanted to add that post #99 is the formula that many of us followed after we saw how this turned out for @850tgul, myself included in the list that followed. I was interested in the OEM plus look, additional weight to improve shifter feel, adjustable shift **** height as I felt the stock **** was too tall and finally to get rid of the swan neck style design.

Scroll down to post #99, not sure how to link exactly to there.

Is that little GT4 emblem the same color as the default aluminum trim? IDK why but I assumed it was brighter to max the OEM ****.

How long did you guys have to wait for your new shifters? I just noticed in my confirmation email "(2-3 weeks + production time)"

Took mine about a month and that was with the Express shipping. Had I known, I would have saved the extra $17.
