Default DB Carbon PDK shift **** - create yours

DB Carbon traditional manufacture the PDK shift **** for all Porsche series, so for the 991 .1 & .2 series Carrera, targa, turbo and of course as well the different RS version for the GT3 and 2 / 3 RS cars.

Standard we manufacture all sections carbon, from the lower sections up to the upper grab area and the shifter switch including the shift lettering in colour of your choice or w/o for pure carbon - as custom option possible just partial carbon sections and specific areas left OEM.

Looking for an OEM carbon center console trim matching plain black gloss carbon one or want to replace your shiny silver one with one in our exclusive matt finish? Post, PM or call us for yours.

The exchange process is very simple and definetly possible to DIY, one of our customers shared an very helpful video on youtube - explains it better than any description:

Some product pictures and customer cars impression below...

How much weight savings?

And horsepower and torque gains?

Thank you.

I will PM you.

Time for the CF Interior Door handles to match the OEM CF Interior and Steering wheel piece I got from you all over a year ago.

The shiny Metal looking handles are driving me nuts.

Glad I'm not the only one who doesn't like the door handles.

I've got the steering wheel trim, door handles and PDK shifter (sorry no pic) all in matte carbon from Daniel. I thought the matte went a little better with the anthracite trim my car has. Really happy with all of them, especially the door handles because I think the silver clashes with the anthracite big time. Sorry iPhone pics don't do the DBcarbon parts justice.

That looks very nice!
Big envy


BTW, Does your Anthracite trim get these dust lines which look just like scratches but when you wipe them they're gone?
Drives me crazy, because I fear I've scratched it yet they randomly appear.
Is it static electricity perhaps?

Yep and that's what happened there. I hadn't even noticed those "scratches" until I posted the pics. They wiped right off. I'm not sure what causes those but I never noticed them until I took the pics. I need to get some shots with my good camera of all the DB stuff. The matte carbon really looks stunning with the anthracite in person.

I saw someone else previously asked this but is there an intention to also design a carbon shifter for the 6MT? While Porsche/Suncoast parts offers the carbon sift **** from the 911R, it doesn't retain the GT3's alcantara shifter and instead is leather. I'd love to just replace metal piece of the shifter with carbon fiber as I think it would look significantly better.

Any thoughts/solutions to this?

Absolutely, we do offer both versions on our wide range fixed 991 .1 & .2 series programs under www.DBCarbon.com
Direct link to both on our 991.2 GT3 program:
DB Carbon Manual Shift ****
DB Carbon Manual Shift **** Alcantara

PM us for special rennlist member pricing, any custom options possible... custom coloured shift lettering, custom coloured stitching - these are ever little jewels once finished and we would be more than happy to work with you guys on further custom ones.

Thanks for the quick reply. Is there any way to simply replace just the OEM metal piece with your carbon piece, rather than have to swap the entire shifter assembly? Also, it looks like you only offer the Alcantara version with red stitching or can that be done in another color?
