I just installed this tonight. It took about 2 days to come in the mail and about 30 seconds to install. The original gearshift was really scratched and turned me off to the car long before I drove it and fell in love. What a difference this makes - feels nice too!

 

Can you post a simple step by step on how to switch it out. I have read on this blog and others about having to forcefully remove the sifter from the post. Was this y

 

Your experience?

BTW the new shifter looks great!
Where did you purchase the new one?

 

Looks great. I love the red stitching.

 

Looks good! Mine's coming in tomorrow. Can't wait! Is it black or more grey? The pics from the dealer look pretty grey and I don't want it to wash out the interior. Thanks!

 

Thanks! I was expecting a huge battle to pull it off (happened in my vw) and it barely took any effort at all - I'm sure experience will vary but took 2 seconds. Step by step pulled up boot 4 tension tabs 2 to each side. Slid backwards pulled up. Reverse to install

 

Mears I was worried about the same thing - it really is pretty darn black the camera really picks up something on the alcantara to make it look lighter. I'm really thrilled.

Cool! Glad it's dark....now I'll reconsider the alcantara steering wheel..it looks really grey in pics too

 

Sounds great, I assume you purchased through Suncoast, if not can you divulge the supplier?

 

Correct - cheaper than random ebay seller

 

You must have gotten the one in Atlanta...there were 8 in the US..1 in Atlanta and 7 in CA..I ordered mine and told them I'd pick it up in ATL, since I'm here this week and they said it was gone and they'll overnight the one from CA...funny

 

I can't find it on the site...
Can you please give me a link

Does anybody make an Alcantara boot for a Carbon Fiber ****? I've got the ****, but would love to have an Alcantara boot with a different color stitching.
