    That looks neat. Takes the turbo look away from the previous aftermarket kit look.

    Makes sense, now that the regular 911's are Turbo's as well: no longer any need to visually differentiate them... blush

    thanks very much for posting the pics, Boxster Coupe GTS!!!  The pics look great!  I"m assuming that the front in the pics is very, very close to the production car...?  Seems like there's minimal camouflage...

    The riveted on ones?? Can't imagine the final car will use these, which makes me think this is not exactly the final body panels.  Flares let them hide final shape for a while longer.

    I'm not convinced by the toggle switches in those pictures but will reserve my opinion till the finished product shows up.

    They have to be joking. .... that is hideous, has no sporting look or use.  Considering the price of the car and the selectors frequent needed use it is a insult to customers.

    No closer to a Panasonic shaver....Smiley  But it does now look like a joystick not a lever that moves in a slot.  I've been forced to learn joystick on my new Range Rover, and while you do get used to it, it is a needlessly unintuitive set of motions.

    It actually is an Braun electric shaver, because Porsche marketing has realised, that many of the Porsche owners want to do this:

    Of course it comes as an extra, PES by Braun ® for about 1.5k. Smiley

    It says rather a lot about the shift in target market when a cupholder is far more prominent in design terms than a gear shift selector in what is supposed to be a sports car.

    I don't like the looks of the current PDK shifter much, but I do use it when in manual mode and making tight turns (e.g., city streets) that will cause paddle disorientation. So I hope that the replacement will have better aesthetics but remain equally usable. This Braun shaver lookalike does not appear to meet that requirement: too short and low relative to the steering wheel, and difficult to grasp.

    BTW, it does to appear to support manual shifting. Notice the markings on it, and the single gait.
