The gear shift looks alot easier to change than the handbrake.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Has anyone bought something from "carnewal.com"?
I'm thinking of ordering a carbon or aluminium gear shift and handbrake lever.
Which do you think will look better in a 03 cab with black interior?
Does anyone know if you can change it yourself? The gear shift looks alot easier to change than the handbrake.
thanks

Well I thought the Carbon stuff looked pretty cool in the catalog until I saw it in real life!
Then I thought it looked AWESOME! I was initially afraid that it would look "cheap" but actually it looks very sporty. Probably because it's real carbon fibre. I like the center console, shift ****, ebrake handle. I wouldn't put anything on the upper dash personally since it doesn't look as "functional" even though most of it isn't...lol. I like it on the door handles/door panel as well.
Problem is the price! At this point I would rather have exhaust, short throw shifter, and other performance mods instead.
Chuck,gert is the man at carnewal.Fast shipping to the states2-3 days.Great prices.Give him a call or just e-mail him.Shifter is easy to install about 20 minutes.Just watch you don,t hit yourself in the head with the old shift **** when you take it off.

Chucksta - I bought the 996 CF shifter and ebrake for my 993 last Christmas. Installation (at least on my car) was a breeze and took about 20-25 working very slowly. Big thumbsup on the look and the quality of the pieces.
Gert is a class guy and is a straight shooter. His prices aren't as low as they used to be as the US$ has depreciated so much lately, but they're fair and he's great on customer service.
I'm in Australia. I dunno how much import tax duty I have to pay.
Does Gert supply the shifter with instructions on how to install it?
Are they brand new parts? Why are they SO much cheaper than porsche factory options?
thanks
Chucksta
They are brand new parts. Don't know how much duty you'll have to pay (my last order was sent to Hong Kong so no duty
) but Gert may have some idea...just ask him how much the "all-in" cost will be.
I didn't get any instruction with my shifter (instruction are available on p-car.com but only for 993s) but if you do a search on this forum, the topic has been covered numerous times in the past...I think it's about a "2" on a scale of "1 to 10" in terms of difficulty.
Porsche stuff in Australia is obscenely expensive...similar to prices in Hong Kong.
