I think on 996 Millenium it was called Violet Chromaflair. They do look similar.

Some updates !
3200km now ! Loving it and eventually got used to the pedals for heel-and-toe and got rid of the Sport mode so it's basically...perfect.
Considering a Manthey Racing set up ( based on original parts ) for more track use.

Also:

1) that picture with that perfectly spec'ed Caterham 485S isn't that great but driving around together made me realize that even if I could afford a GT2RS, I'd stick with a manual GT3 and add a Caterham for track / extreme use.
What do you think? Cheaper combo and one road car + one track tool instead of a car that's too fast and not engaging enough on the road and too expensive to track.

2) the last picture from the post isn't great either but it shows pretty clearly how the color changes depending if it's lit or in the shade. Definetely a huge fan of it and couldn't think of any other color I'd be happier with.
It doesn't suit RS cars IMO as they're too track focused but GT3 is polyvalent enough to pretend being classy...sometimes.

Stay tuned also on my Instagram >>> @arnaudtaquet

I have seen a a couple of cars with this same carbon/alcantara shift **** and im wondering is this original piece from porsche? i just cant find it anywhere. if you would happend to have part no. or anything, would be a great help.
btw love the colour, would have gone for the same with ceramics and 4 ways but further delay due to pts might have pushed me to arkham asylum.

It's a CXX part. Never seen it anywhere either as it's not even the same as the 911R shift ****.
I actually met someone from CXX during the IAA Francfort autoshow and he kindly told me there was no CXX brochure or so and that I should tell him what I want, then he'd send me a quote and tell me wether it's possible or not.
I told him I'd like to avoid aluminum as much as possible as my car is kind of stealth and dark so he offered me the opportunity of getting that part.

By the way...I've seen that later after delivery on another .2 GT3 ( @killsbugsfast ). The only obvious light parts inside my car are the inside door handles that I'd like to replace with those straps.
Any idea if there's any chance to order them aftermarket?

Fait??? Ca change quoi?
Apparemment ca ne change rien pour la garantie, c'est vrai? C'est censé être du réglage avec pièces full d'origine.
Une idée du tarif? Il faut aller en Allemagne je suppose?

thanks for the info, i have asked my dealer to enquire about the shifter, will also ask about the straps, but atm they seem to be clueless ....

If you want to get rid of the silver door pulls you can get these carbon fibre parts:
https://shop.db-carbon-interieur.de/...s/1007G32-0001

Also found replacement door strap assemblies
https://www.suncoastparts.com/produc...1GTSTRAPS.html

but they do not seem to be a direct replacement for our gt3s. you might need some more parts or modification to install these.

btw do you remember how much they charged for the carbon shifter? if its too expensive i might just go for the 911 R shifter w/o the leather boot.
