OK... I'll bite since am looking into short shift kit...

1. Time frame on being able to order?

2. Cost?

3. Lead time from order to delivery?

4. Options for LED colors?

5. Options for leather colors?

Looks real nice. Any chance it will fit on a stock late GT shifter?

I prefer this shape over the German model.

Looks great Jim and Paul. Depending on price for me, I would definitely be interested.

Hey guys,

here is the finished cover I just completed for Jim.
It's a one piece shifter/boot cover, in the style of the factory shifters. It will fit the factory console frame, just like the factory boot.

The boot accents are designed to help introduce either a second texture (like the engraved Pascha in this case), or a second color, to match or highlight any interior.

I also covered the top ring in black texture to match the existing texture in our cars, but that could also be done in carbon or brushed aluminum.

Is the top contoured like the GT cars? It looks similar to my 1991 GT. Would it fit that car?
How much$$?

Shifter cover and boot will be part of a kit that Jim is working on.
I will let him cover the details when he is ready.

Thanks Paul! You really went out of you way to come up with a custom design, which eccentuates the shifter itself, and will fit nicely in the timeless 928 interior. Well done!

Guys, thanks for all you interest. I will start a new thread when I get to a place where I may be able to make this kit available.

I wish it was as easy as saying "go", but there a few steps that need to happen prior to.

You can assume with a premium design will come a premium price that won't fall in line the ICT shifter. That's a nice piece, but this will be more at home in the 928.

To answer a few questions:

It will fit all manual 928's. (Will be adapted to possibly work w/AT's)

LED colors available to suite owners tastes.

Wires up easily into cigarette lighter light.

Shape and size if very similar to the GTS style, but slightly narrower in width.

Installed. Probably better without the silver accents, but I'm happy.
