Ringo Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Sick of my (somewhat tired) bog standard gear knob...any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonewolfgjp Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 This is my knob? 997 turbo carbon fitted in my 986s. Look quite cool and uber expensive new but there is one on eBay in top condition. Be warned they are chromed plastic and real carbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonewolfgjp Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 The black and chrome leather 987 ones are very similar and £60ish used? All the 987/997 knobs fit striaght on the 986. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason986S Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Same as above, silver and leather 987 tequipment shifter. I really want yours @Lonewolfgjp but can't justify the eBay asking prices. As @Ringo above, I've also bought cars for less! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris H1AVFC Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 I like the LED ones but they all seem to be 6 speed & my 986 is 5 :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same gear knob as yours but the hand brake lever in my car is just plain black. Were these sepatate options when new? Quite fancy the black and silver hand brake lever - if it is possible to get hold of one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawrencequinn Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 I bought a turbo gear knob from Suncoast Porsche Sarasota which was much cheaper than here but perhaps the £ / dollar rate was better. Worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always like the Ferrari-like approach to interiors, being classier than a normal production car and still retaining that mechanical edge. May yet polish it up and add some colour to the inlay. With that in mind, Porsche don't (to my knowledge) make what I wanted, so I've made it myself. I'll put the other photos in the running reports thread, to save clogging up this one.
