I might even try to do the deviated stitching that alex_c did on his Ts shifter boot. I was not impressed with the quality of the shifter boot: held together with a cheap plastic part and the “leather” stapled to the plastic. I’m not sure if it’s real leather or not.

Its real leather but you can also buy the gt4 shift boot from suncoast for i think 350 with the silver stitchcing. It doesnt say 911 on it though

Yup. Same boot shape for 981, 991, 718 and i think gt3 manual. U just pop on your 7sp ****. It comes with the 6sp ****.

Haliax, nice job. I’d take the free leather trim over the black plastic. Brushed aluminum also looks very nice.

Thanks Porsch! I definitely would have also taken the free leather trim option if I had ordered my car from the factory. Mine was a “lot” car though, so my only option was to DIY some different trim.

I also installed anthracite trim in my T and it is so much better. The fingerprint magnet, scratch attracting gloss black had to go. Now my T Is even more perfect. I had this sitting in my basement from a project I did on my 2017 991.2 c2 cab that I sold.

That's nice. I think I'm gonna stick with the gloss plastic for a while. I didn't want leather and the aluminum is too costly of an aftermarket change for me. I do get the reason one would want to do it though. It's something you immediately will see a difference in. Maybe if the gloss gets messed up over time, I'll change my mind.

I actually like the gloss black. It goes with the no frills nature of the car. Only thing I might consider is carbon fiber trim for the extra horsepower.

On my drive to work this morning I could evaluate the Anthracite aluminum trim in normal daylight and I love it. In the regular light you can see it has a little darker hue to it than the normal brushed aluminum trim and looks understated and classy.
Porsche should have offered this as a factory upgrade on the T. As it is now, I believe the only cars that can order the Anthracite trim from the factory are the GT models.
Here is a photo of it in daylight:
