Help identifying this shifter ****..
... this **** was on a 997 I test drove but did not ultimately buy. That said, I'd like to find out where to get one as the one I did buy doesn't have it (and I liked it.)
Anyone recognize this? I think it is OEM but am not 100% sure. It has open slots immediately under the shifter and I liked the feel/look.
Thanks - Rodie

Rodie, if your not in a rush I will likely switch it in spring. Not sure what I want yet. Kcheves is correct about light scratches. I don't wear them, but likely from rings. What color is your interior? Anyone know how to remove these *****? I think the brake handle just slides off.

Installed the X97 into my car. The shifter comes off by rotating the clip after you pull up the leather shift boot. Note the gear selector is a solid piece of aluminum that goes an inch or so inside the handle vs others where the top is just plastic.
For the e brake, I swapped the whole mechanism. Wasn't too hard. I don't think you can just do the e break cover, think its the whole thing.

The reason I thought the brake handle just slid off was because the second time I drove the car to a restaurant, I went out to go home and could not release the emergency brake. I almost gave up and called a tow, then realized that the aluminum shell of the handle had slid up about half an inch and locked the lever button from using. I actually thought it might be some tricky anti-theft thing. I slid it back and all was well.
