Here are mine. They will not be lighter than the RS that you already have though. Real LW CF will cost $5k upwards. Can't post pics for some reason. Apologies for linking to another forum.

Hi Jean

I just wanted everyone to have a better look of your sequential shifter.

Porscha is infamous around these parts
Jean - they look awesome. If anybody is interested, I am loooking into having some carbon door panels made for the 996, including the rear quarter panel.

Ah. Guess we'll make our own panels for the car in that case.

Well once we're done making the panels for our car I'll post them up for people to see.

Thanks guys!

You can get the ones like mine for close to 800 USD if I recall correctly, excellent OEM quality. They are not real LW CF however, just like 95% of all CF sold commercially by the Getty, MaShaw, FVD, Cargraphic and even OEMs of this world. You can also get them for $500 from other vendors that I have seen, but expect real crappy quality and heavyweight lacquered panels.

You cannot replicate them with real CF for less than $5k (at the very least), this is about what costs the small GT3 Cup CF air intake!

Orygins, these can be had on special order and are marketed through Cargraphic in Germany, but I am sure that the Cargraphic US rep can order them for you, just tell him to speak to Thomas Schnarr (Cargraphic owner) about them since they are not listed. I got them done through the builder (Porsche supplier) in Germany.

Hmm, is there a price estimate? I'm thinking of whether or not it'd be more practical to just make the door panels ourselves. If you'd like you can just PM me the price.
