I think OP is referencing the retrofit selector for the PDK that is a whopping $800 piece of plastic.

I am waiting...it was $999 just 4 weeks ago and now is $799. The description of materials used sounds like its a solid piece but still too much. I send them an offer what I am willing to pay but they rejected. So, now I watch. I doubt they sell many at $799 and will have to lower eventually to get rid of whatever inventory they have.

The description is idiotic - “real carbon fiber” - but the materials detail and pix show no carbon fiber. Zinc alloy is fine / better than plastic.

Looks worlds better than the shaver, though. I’d prob buy one if I had PDK.

They now offer it in Carbon fiber too. Look at last 2 pics, instead of red/black Alcantara the **** can now be had in CF. I also was puzzled initially until I looked at the drop down options.

Ahh - that makes more sense. I thought the chinese seller was just trying to add cool automotive buzzwords.

$150-$200 is all it's worth to me. $275-$300 for carbon fiber. I'm sure there would be a lot of buyers at that price.

;looks completely out of place. As much as the shaver may not look great, at least it’s consistent with the rest of the design of the car.

I am more worry that they did not spend even a second to clean the car before taking pictures. Showing a $800 shifter on a filthy center console does not inspire confidence.
