I have a mixed of Lava Orange and Black or Dark Grey stitching in my car. Either I'm color blind or I cannot tell, the grey from the 4RS shifter closely resembles the Black or Dark Grey stitching throughout the rest of my car.

It's the awesome iPhone camera with the "right" lighting and software that brings out the contrast most eyes cannot discern in bright sunny daylight.

Yes, that's what I did prior to this kit coming out. There's a thread about on here, you also need to buy the small button switch cover to swap over. This is the switch plate cover piece - https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/SKU991553.html

When I called Suncoast Porsche about the boot conversion kit I asked if the 'leather' boot was genuine leather. They couldn't confirm it was.

I ordered the black with red stitching. Definitely real leather. Now I want the manual looking shift **** but don’t need the damn boot!

For those that have not jumped on the bandwagon to get one, the new generation shifter is now available in White decal instead of Yellow.

wheels are a purely aesthetic mod, and they’re 8-10k. 😅

I would like the white decal one too. Glad I waited. Wish we had a part number. Thanks

The white one, I would say is at least a March 2023 ETA.

Since there is no part number flowing down to dealers yet for anything 992 3RS, that will take up to 3 months at a minimum. Then place an order in current economic challenges, sounds about right.

And the white one is effectively double in price since it's "currently" only fitted to the 992 3RS. You still need to buy the 4RS shift boot or another 991 shift boot to cobble parts together.

Here is mine. Got really lucky and found an alcantara shift boot to match my GTS interior.

OK, thanks for the info.

Well, luckily I have a RY car, so I’ll stay in line for the yellow one.

I’m just going to leave these here…..




Hopefully I’ll have some time this weekend to install it, my garage is a mess right now as I’m installing a second two post lift.

Oh, and just to confirm, Suncoast did include the bezel for the emergency flasher/door lock buttons with the order. I placed my order back on 5/19 and received it today 9/27.

A 10 min Job. Very happy with this mod. Though my steering wheel stitching is black, and the boot is greyish, I’m actually OK with that, the stitching plays well with the surrounding carbon trim, and it’s darker in real life as compared to pictures, so I’m keeping it this way for now. This was worth the wait (and expense) in my book. Happy to get rid of that PDK shiny bezel.
