I can't wait 'till he builds another rental Spec 911 so I can come out and race with the boys - talk about pressure, given the size of my mouth!!!
I couldn't possibly comment

I love the Spec 911's!

Here's a black one installed with the stock boot cut and rolled inward. The action is an enormous improvement, not a crazy short throw to make the effort too high, just right- and engagement is very positive, so you never question if you haven't fully engaged the gear.

This pic was prior the passenger airbag delete..... I don't miss the airbag!

Does anyone that installed one of these ever park their car out in the sun for a few hours with the windows closed and not drive with gloves?

No problem whatsoever, even in the Oklahoma sun.

Thanks, yes, I just couldn't see the detail very well from that picture. Geordie and Provoste added some nice pics that helped. It seems that the stock shift boot can be modified well enough to give a finished look. Now, where is my needle and thread...

Just a quick follow up for those that are interested in the Rothsport SSK...

Here is a quick video of the resulting action and residual play when the Rothsport shifter is coupled to the FD Motorsport Golden Rod (forward and main). I opted for the monoball versions of all, so that I could get rid of the cup and ball mounts:
