How come... no M Perf Leather shenanigans?

[bgomesm4]

I wish they made leather versions of the M Performance Steering wheel, Shifting booth, E-brake...

Not a big fan of Alcantara...

Anyone else in the same position and found a cool solution to this issue?

Perhaps just swap out the Alcantara to their leather pieces?

They do make leather versions of the steering wheel, shift boot, and e-brake...they came with your car.

Hmmmm, interesting, I must have missed the option for carbon fiber E-brake with leather, CF shifting booth with leather, cf steering wheel with the screen and lights in leather... Were those options I forgot to select when building the car? What is the part numbers? SIKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I just meant inside the car. The outside stuff is nice.

Well said, and glad I'm not the only one that feels this way.

I wish there were other (better) options available. I'd like to add some color to my interior, but other than going to Alcantara (and giving up my heated steering wheel) there's not a lot of good options.

Would be nice if there are more shift knob options for the 6-speed.

I agree. The M-Perf shiftboot/knob is nice and adds a great "feel" to rowing gears, but a couple more options/weights would be nice.

There's also this option if you have the $$$ to throw. It would be my first option if it wasn't ridiculously priced.

[JibSTir13]

$599.00!!! That's a lot of $$$ for a shift knob (although it is really nice).

It better light up AND add an extra 100 HP for that price, holy shit! It really is nice though.

Kinda like IND gloss black painted badge for $75 plus shipping.

My understanding is that it does light up. Not sure about the 100 HP though.

Pretty much. If the shift boot/knob was $200-$250 I'd consider it. However you can't beat the M Performance option for under $200.

Does the M Perf actually make the stick shorter?

DCT I know but this is what I did for my shifter and surround to match the Piano Black trim in my car - personally love it and dirt cheap by comparison

Not by much, but the overall shape and feel elevates the shifting experience.

Have you seen the M Perf "LCI" shift knob IND has available for preorder? I wonder how that compares to yours.
