I'm talking about right underneath the hemispherical dome cap of the shifter, that complementary hemispherical half is trimmed in leather in my car. Of course it's been so long since I've sat in mine that I may be confusing it with the leather shifter of my Mini!

 

You;re talking about 4.1a and I'm talking about 4.1b. Get get much more arcane than that!

 

I have full leather interior & sun visors, as well as aluminum-look console, dash & door finishers. Doing it again, I would also get A pillars, seat backs & various other incidentals.

None(well, almost none) of the interior options are worth it, but they look great and give a custom, luxurious finish to the car.

 

Whaaaaaat???

Yes, why in the world are you throwing out arcane numbers without references???

Looks like we must have missed your post where you show the diagram you are apparently referring to. ... Sheeeesh!

Like I said before:
....is still a true statement.

 

OCBen, if I may....he is talking about the trim FORWARD of the shift boot, between the boot and the cubby hole at the base of the PCM stack. In standard form it's "soft painted". For $250 you can get it in stitched leather.

Don't you have the order guide available? I thought all us Porsche geeks had them within arms reach at all times. The arcane references are seen in the diagram in the order guide.

 

So would I! In about 3 months the car will arrive and everyone will see how well I did, or how badly I screwed it up.

 

LOL

Thanks for the chuckle!

 

In reality all the leather, exterior color match, aluminum, carbon and wood upgrades are unnecessary. They do nothing other than adds look. They neither add function or performance. Nor do they improve resale. If you want something in leather, go for the thicker sport steering wheel. It will at least give you some value while your driving.

 

Oh. .... No, why should I have an order guide if I already ordered my car. I'm beyond ordering. ... And no, I'm not a geek, though I might be a bit oc from time to time.

Oh man, that would be a terrible option to have that part leather covered instead of the smooth painted surface that I love so much:

Ben- brilliant description there, but you're still recovering from the SoCal game ... piece in question is not the sorority babe inner thigh-ridge shifter indent. CDZ is this piece... nice complement to full leather, definitely would spec CDZ if I were ordering again.

 

I went for the Carrera leather briefs and matching split-crotch leather undies for my wife.

 

Thanks for the pics Paul. And thanks for rubbing it in. Though I'd much rather rub it in one of those sorority babes' inner thigh you mentioned, if you know what I mean.

Oh, so it's that piece in front of the boot you just pointed out with the blue arrows? And what about this shifter you're showing that looks different from anything I've seen so far? Do you know if that's a new option? Are those leather caps on the sides of the shifter ****? Is that what all the commotion is all about?

 

Nice touch, Dave.

And what about the other pussies, did they get clad in leather too?

 

Sorry to confuse. here's a better depiction of CDZ:



the funky shifter in post #25 above, second pic is option X97, modified shift stalk for mere $800 or so...

 

Is this the piece? Yes, it's better in paint, especially in Speed Yellow.
