My Function First weighted black shift **** in my 99 C4 . I also went with a black leather shift boot with red stitching to help break up the Grey interior .
I bought a NOS one on Ebay. When I bought the car back in 2017, I decided I wasn't going to do any mods that weren't reversible so I could put it back to stock if I ever wanted to. If I ever sell it, I will include all the original parts.
I think they're great. I bought the first one for the M5 about ten years ago and now also use it in other cars. Looking at the paperwork, the price didn't change over the years either.
Here's a black shifter on what is left of my gray interior. Not sure if that helps but interestingly I did add some gray, or at least silver, when I installed the horseshoe but overall it's less and less gray.
Things that were gray but now aren't. Steering wheel isn't gray. Driver's seat isn't gray. Center console obviously isn't gray. Center stack surround isn't gray. Gauge binnacle isn't gray anymore. I got fixated on leather airbags , Love them on the three spoke wheel , and had to have one so this one is gray. I like the contrast.
Maybe this doesn't qualify as a gray interior anymore.

@C4911
This is the exact setup I had in my mind!!! You even got the black steering wheel changed out. Can you provide some info on the shifter, center console, etc? Also, how big of a deal was it to replace the steering wheel?
I'm not sure what kind of info you are looking for exactly but....there was just too much gray for me so I changed it up. I found the black console, parking brake handle and steering wheel on Ebay. Got the black shifter from my indy who swapped out the steering wheel in less than 10 minutes. Already had the deviated carpet and added coco mats. Hope that helps....
That shifter is a factory Porsche model. Not sure where to find one now, Suncoast Porsche parts used to sell them but no longer listed there. Very pricey if you do find one, generally in the $1500 range
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
