Nobbie Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 1 hour ago, boxtaboy said: Thanks guys. The closely placed letters started to really bother me after seeing how Porsche spaces them on their newer cars (I put my original set on before they started adding the letters to the 981 Boxster/Cayman). I still think the placement is too wide and too high up on the 981 from the factory, so I copied the spacing and curvature from the first gen Panamera, and put the letters 2" up from the trunk lid which is where the original Boxster emblem was. I thinks it looks well proportioned to the 986 trunk lid. Looks much better, how much was the 'PORSCHE' lettering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the leather cover is from ebay, I used the same place for the gearstick gaiter. http://stores.ebay.co.uk/J-F-CUSTOMS/_i.html?_nkw=porsche+boxster+986+red&submit=Search&_sid=668506186 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason986S Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Anybody know a decent/reasonable source of an alcantara shifter boot? @Patt @Cossie Si @bagss2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patt Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 cheapest I've seen recently is about £30 from States. Not sure how much Royal Steering wheels charge ? Ages ago I spotted a kit of bits on ebay and bought them, before deciding they were too dark and too much grief to fit quickly. I've just given the cubby box lid to bags and used the gear lever in my 987 knob as I had no real choice.. I may look at the handbrake cover now, especially as the console is coming out in a weeks time to swap out my short shifter for a 997 shifter unit. I will advertise the short shift on here before ebay as it will be the complete unit so only need a spanner and a felt tip pen to install ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
