Oops, sorry I didn't post a part number last night. I got busy and never went on-line, I'll try to remember tonight.

 

I think a wood ball would be cool, but something would have to be done about the rod itself, if it were to be exposed. IMO, it should be cylindrical and polished/chrome, but that's just my two cents.

 

The late 996 **** looks really perfect in a 993. And it's made of real aluminum, unlike the 993RS plastic ****, which feels light and flimsy. I found one on ebay for $250 and had a local leather guy re-work the boot to fit it.

 

Shake, I'm thinking something like this to cover the bottom:

 

EDIT: **** is SOLD! Thanks for the PM's...

 

I got one of these....http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsc...item563a3fc1ca

of course I didnt hook up the LED, and I only paid $45.

Mark, I like

That looks good! How's the quality and feel?

cheers,

The feel is nice. good weight, good leather feel. thicker. cant quite hook your fingers around it like the factory one, and its a little taller, so it hits my leg some times ( Im 6 ft 3" )

 

This is a great ****, been using mine for over a year now, it's held up well. You should try hooking up the LED, works perfect, and dims properly with the dash lights.

I could totally see that in the car, it would be nice looking, if only the rod itself was nice looking enough to be exposed. Actually, I was thinking something more along the lines of this:

 

This is the one I used on mine as well. It looks and feels fantastic! Way nicer than the beaten up old leather one. Mine was carbon.

 

Shake, is it really shiny and does it get hot in the summer? That's my main concern.

 

The part number on the box is: 000 044 700 14 8YR. Figured I better post tonight, not sure if I'll be able to get online tomorrow. An unwanted guest (Irene) is supposed pay a visit.

 

That is for a 2WD car although as Im sure you will agree it would fit any car!

 

if anybody is getting rid of/ replacing of an old shift ****, can I get the metal ring part out of the bottom of the leather that snaps into the center console? I need one.. I'll buy it!!

Thanks-

COleman.

 

Thanks Mark,

I'm going to order one .

cheers,
