Ric @ Suncoast will drop the price to $200.00 + Shipping ($9.00 US, $16.00 Canada) for a minimum of 5 orders. The unit will be coming from Germany & will take 3-4 weeks. You can confirm by posting here or PM me. All i need is your leather color choice. So far here's the list of members who are in: Members: 1. ploc36 Stone Grey Confirmed 2. zornet Confirmed 3.

I made an edit to the thread to include the new Group Buy post icon.

Ken: I'll take one with Cocoa leather. JHellow

Thanks, K-Man S

What date will the group buy end?

Is the knob aluminum or alumi-look

Thanks, smounic : The Group Buy will end Saturday, June 30th. We should get the order by late July.

I think it is real aluminum, like the original shift knob. Can't see it being alumi-look as we will use it all the time.

Updated Group Buy list: 1. ploc36 Stone Grey 2. Zornet 3. jhellow Cocoa

At that price, I am in. The knob I wanted was not available on my build date. Black Leather, BTW. Thanks for the effort!

no shift knob for tip?

Good question? Haven't seen anything for the Tip.

is it short throw?

No, this is not the Short Shift Kit, it is just the shift knob & boot, purely cosmetic. The knob is different than the stock CS with more interesting alu insert.

Is this real aluminium or is it just aluminium look plastic?.... have seen much higher prices on the Porsche Alu shift knobs..

What happen if we get more than 10 buyers? Will the price drop a little more? Chaseman

Will this work on my 5-speed shifter CAYMAN-non S

You are correct that the prices are a lot higher with other P knobs, Ric from Suncoast found this one in the P catalog with a GREAT price & offered it on-line. Just checked the 997 Turbo brochure, it is the same shift knob, will they put alu look in a over $100K car?

As the price of this P knob is so low that he cannot drop it below the $200.00 mark. So far there is only 4 confirmed, if it goes to 8 or 9 confirmed, i will ask again. As there is a long lead time (3-4 weeks from Germany). I would like to order asap.

Sorry, the shift pattern is for 6 speed. As it is the original 997 Turbo Shift Knob

Are these hard to install?

When i installed the SS kit, the Porsche mechanic took less than 15 minutes to take the stock knob & boot off, i assume it is a .5 hour job.

I'm in. Stone Grey.

Congrats to all that have confirmed their order, we reached the minimum of 5 in less than 1 day! Well done. I have PM you with instructions to contact Suncoast in regards to payment & shipping. Ric is expecting either a call or e-mail. (For today, it's better to e-mail, as he is the only one in the parts dept, thus might be a bit of a wait.) To re-cap, we have 2 black leather, 2 stone grey & 1 cocoa. This group buy is still open to all until June 30th. As i will be away on holidays from Sunday, June 24 - Sunday July 1st, i might not be able to check the post on a regular basis, but will certainly follow up with it upon my return. Thanks again. For those who wants to check out the Turbo Knob, go to your nearest P dealer & look at the new 997 Turbo, that's the same one.

I'm in for one for black leather. Thanks.

Do we pay now or when the knob comes in? Can anyone say it is %100 aluminum and not alum-a-look

New Update, as of 700pm PST: Updated Group Buy list: 1. ploc36 Stone Grey 2. zornet - Black 3. jhellow Cocoa 4. Rob Black 5. Sleeper Stone Grey 6. Hets, Black 7. SF Cfan, Black 8. joshb1, Sand Beige 9. type987s, Sand Beige

I ordered this morning with Rick @ Suncoast, the usual procedure is they take our credit card number, when part arrive & ready to ship, then they will charge your card. As with alu-look or aluminum, my opinion is that it is aluminum, it is the same material as our stock CS shifter, except a different design. This knob retails for over $300.00, we are getting a GREAT deal on it. If you like this 997 Turbo design, it is a wonderful upgrade.

Im in if its not too late. Sand Beige for me please. Thanks.

I'm in too if not too late, SAND BEIGE please :cheers:

For all the members that haven't ordered but are interested in the Turbo Shift Knob. This Group Buy is open till June 30th 2007. There is still lots of time to think & consider. :cheers:

i asume there is no knobs for the tips??

There were none shown at Suncoast's site, only option is color to match your interior. But a call to Ric @ Suncoast (parts dept) may help the tip gang . zornet :burnout:

Shift Knob Please include me with Natural Brown

I would like to be in for one also, black interior... thanks!
