Default Porsche 917 wood shift **** on a 996!

I have been talking to and working with Manuel Campuzano on having a 917 replica wooden shift **** made for my 996. I saw images of the **** in Singer cars and was drooling and needed one. I know most people think they are a tad too retro and that they look best in older 911s but i think in a 996 it becomes the highlight of the somewhat drab interior. I cannot wait to get mine!

I will post pics and info soon enough!

I don't have any affiliation with Manuel just wanted to give him a shout out for the great customer service and beautiful ****!

Leon

I have one of Manuels shift ***** on my CAE shifter - It's very fine craftsmanship.

Send an email to porsche356sport@yahoo.com and tell him what you want, he's very easy to work with and will custom make to your specs.
