Default Shifter upgrade from stock 1995 993 C2?

Looking to upgrade my stock shifter to something a little more modern and black/aluminum colour combo versus current camel/tan well worn original.

Any suggestions? Much appreciated!!

have you upgraded the internals? RS + Golden rod is the way to go!

I upgraded mine to a 997/987 shift **** and had a black leather boot custom made by Classic 9 Leather Shop. It is exactly as you want...black leather with aluminum. I posted some pics on here when I did it....Ill loook for them and link it in.

I have this shifter that Gert sells along with the matching parking brake handle in black. Both look great with a Classic Gray interior. The shifter is very nice and would be a good choice.

Take a look at the RothSport one. FDM sells one of the RothSport style ones modified to use with the SSK/Goldenrod kit they sell. This setup is the best on the market today. Much stronger than standard shifter.

Carnewal ordering is as easy (maybe easier and faster) than USA ordering. Gert is the best. I wish I could think of more things to buy from him....

Gert is extremely quick to deliver. He shipped me a bumper cover on Friday. It was on my midwestern doorway on Mon. afternoon via Fedex. You may have to get pre-approval by your credit card company for large overseas internet purchses. You will also get hit by an import tax bill later on.

+1 for the Rothsport shifter. I have a 964 shiftrod instead of Goldenrod. Only downside is the aluminum is cold in winter. Either way

I also have the Rothsport shifter matched with the Golden Rod. All was purchased from the guys at FD. They are great and recommended.

+1. Most enjoyable mod I've made to my car.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but a Q for those of you with the Rothsport + Goldenrod: Does the shift **** get too close to the console in 1/3/5 gear? Thanks.
