Afshin, I don't think he makes shift ***** for 987's.

I've always wanted a Carrera GT style shift **** ever since I got the car, never follow through.

There is a guy name Dave Mason on Facebook. He makes them for Singer.

I think a balsa wood **** would look awesome on our cars.

Keep in mind the Platinum stitching is not the same color as the Boxster Spyder which is Silver.

Contrast Stitching:
GT4 = Platinum
Spyder = Silver
GTS = Rhodium Silver

I'm not 100% sure how different each is from the other, I just know they are listed different.

Yup I did it and it's great. It's the same part number as the GT4 shifter.

Correct, the shifter and the boot comes together as one piece.

Here is a better shot of my car's interior. I even bought the matching GT4 steering wheel to complete the yellow stitching. (I secretly love my 2 way sofa seats, they are so much better for long cruises compared to the LWBS on my other cars

)

No I didn't, just the shift ****, boot is stock. He has round ones and the 917/962 elongated one which I bought. Just remember shipping time from Mexico might take a little extra, but totally worth it to buy a handmade product from the seller himself.

He does make shift ***** for the 987 which basically utilizes an adaptor to mount the **** and has done them before.

I have been exchanging emails with the seller for the last few days and finally landed on the configuration I want. He is very responsive and easy to work with. He's also very patient as I had something very specific in mind that doesn't match anything he or others have done in the past. I'll send you a PM with his email address.
