I've been looking too, and I'm sure not digging the $1200 price tag...

I see them on eBay once in awhile. I know a new handbrake lever cost over $1k new. Mine broke (push button wouldn't stay put), but I was able to repair it. Used, they are about $200.

I bought a new shift ****, trim and boot on eBay for $250.

Get one of these x97 if you're going to ante up a bunch of coin.
Anyone that has one to sell, PM me.

Chrome wont get you home.

I'm thinking of doing the 997 ****/boot on the 996 horseshoe ring but the stock **** works and have decided that modding cars is a waste of time and $ and I'll just buy a newer version of whatever I want.

Although now that lent is over...

Well I found a lever checked the price and Auto Altanta realised they made an error and promptly changed the price from $752 to $1684 and have the nerve to make out I was mistaken how dam cheeky is that:

Had this happen recently on some parts for another car.
I quickly put them in my cart, paid and then they said there was a mistake.
I let them know how I can understand these things happen, now please send me my stuff. I've bought lots there in the past however...

try these guys. http://www.ladismantler.com

they are not cheap but they have LOTS of parts. if they don't have what you want now, they'll let you know when they do. i got the alum e-brake handle from them. again, not cheap, but less than buying oem from the usual sources.

The 997GT3 ***** are fantastic. Light as a feather and totally changes the feel of the shift action as it does not act like a weighted lever. $200...

Dang thats the factory shifter my car came with. I think the price on the sticker was $900 for both it and the carbon brake handle. I hate that **** in the summer. I keep a microfiber towel over it just to keep it a bit cooler. Have to shift with the towel cover until the air conditioner cools it down.

Stumbled upon this. Unfortunately I need black. Might be good for someone on here.
