Illuminated Shift ****?
I've searched and haven't found much about this mod. Does anyone have one or know a company that sells?
Nice subtle detail i've gotten used to coming from bimmers.

Most of the guys in the Porsche forums know where the various gear positions are without having to look.... We simply drop our hand down on the right side and it comes to rest on the gearshift ****.....

Ha! Thanks Smistry. I'll be introducing the new love of my life shortly, just gotta take some good pics first.

But seriously, no one thinks an illuminated shift **** is a slick looking mod?

Popular on BMW's ya but Porsche owners are far to cool for such things!
I was on carnewal.com and saw a pretty nifty looking one. There are some really drool worthy CF and Alu shifters on there.

The Porsche shift **** is illuminated by a LED from above (called an orientation light coming from the mirror). Ingenious huh...LOL

Man, the neon shift light brings back some hot high school memories....Of course I had the underbody "ground FX" neons to go with it. Made my '86 Ford Escort an instant Chick and Cop magnet
All was great with it.....until I powershifted into 2nd and the **** almost took out my rear window.......the underbody neons scored similar fate when I forgot about the tubes and jacked up my car one day......
The whole car was a beast, untill one day I dropped the clutch from a light in a street race and flipped into the backseat as the front "legs" for the front seat rusted through.

I just started laughing when I found that pic on google. First thought that went through my mind was...Wow this car actually belongs to someone and they INTENTIONALLY made it look like that
