either that or you'll end up like the **** in "Raiders of the Lost Ark" with a shifter pattern burnt onto the palm of your hand ... that would be quite a conversation starter!
still waiting for mine to show up!

I get that Porsche is trying to save weight with the plastic...but man....the difference in feel vs. the couple hundred grams of "weight saving" is beyond worth it.
So many compliments on it so far. With sincere apologies to Kim at P1Designs...it might be my fave mod so far! (until JCR arrives....)
It's just excellent.

Raceseng give you a little glove to cover the **** with for this purpose, but really you can cover it up with anything if left in the sun. Even the OEM one gets hot.

since I wear gloves to keep the alacantara wheel "clean" I can pop one of those over the **** to practice (outdoor) "safe parking" ...

Hows does the leather feel compared to the leather part of the oem stick, to me the oem leather contributes to 50% of the unpleasantness of the stick .

I am debating raising the shifter a bit. It's so low. But it's good. My palm rubs on the boot sometimes.
I'm not sure. I wonder what is the ideal height. Not to mention distance from steering wheel, which is greater now.

That takes me back to my old days with the Mk1 Audi TT with the real aluminum ring on the shifter. That thing would get scorching hot.
