No. The car originally had gray/beige carpet. The carpet is Feintuft (German wool carpet) from World Upholstery.

Curt,
I just placed an order with 9Products for their short shifter. I have a lot of slop side to side and it looks like my shifter is worn down on the end.
In your pictures you mention bushings that go on the end of the shift rod, are they included with the 9Products shifter or is that something I need to source elsewhere?
Thanks much.

You'll need to source the bushings elsewhere, but they're cheap. Porsche part number 999-924-002-40. You will have to bore the hole in your shift rod in order to use them. I know some people have been able to do it in place, but I'd recommend removing the shift rod and doing it off the car. If you do attempt to do it with the rod installed, make sure you secure the rod as well as possible to keep it from moving while drilling.
For the bit to bore the hole, I recommend McMaster part number 2973A38. It's a straight-flute .4531" carbide tipped bit. It leaves a very smooth bore compared to a standard drill bit.

Links at the top of the post.
The addition of the bushings in the shift rod really tightened up the shifter and I love the feel. There is still little bit of play in the linkage on the transmission, but I haven't decided what to do back there - if anything. I don't like the Schnell type for various reasons. I do like the one from deutschnine, but they're expensive, they won't return my emails and it still doesn't address the pivot linkage.

Curt,
how much does the bushing sit outside of the shift rod? I have the lindsey style handle and it seems that the main portion of my buzzing is coming from the rod vibrating against the handle rather then the shifter bolt. I have the style where there are two c-clips holding the pin in the shifter assembly, do you think this would be a solution?
P.s. I liked your arm rest delete so much, I called up sunset last night and ordered one ,

I'll have to see if I can contact them to order one. How do you like it? Any complaints?

What are you doing about a shift boot? Redline will make modifications to their pattern to make you one that fits correctly. I had tried to use a standard boot trimmed down with my prototype shifter, but there was way too much bunching.

Good question, guess I'll cross that bridge once I get the shifter. I'm retaining my stock **** (well, hot rodded Carrera GT/917 wannabe stock ****) so I think the boot I have will work ok.

its a pretty tight fit already, im not sure if the **** might be buzzing, i dont think so, as it has the derlin insert which i had to bore out ever so slightly to get it to fit on the shift handle. Ill check out the bushing and report back. i know you said you have to source it out somewhere else, where would be the best place?

Ah, I thought you were getting the threaded shaft shifter like mine. If you're going with the one that uses the factory ****, you won't have to do anything to your existing boot.
