Just got off convo with seller - update

Seller plans to increase list price by 15% when their new line ships. If we pre-order by Aug 7, we will get current list price plus group discount

Are we getting "new line ships" as part of this Group Buy? is that what's featured on their site? Thank you!

 

[paloma]

@nathanr93 the new lines include the new color stitches, and we are also in negotiation to get smooth leather instead of perforated.

If you go with black stitch then the new line won’t benefit you, just the discount will
Regardless, list price will go up Aug 7

so if we pre order vs order after aug 7, the delta will be 35%

I need to check the possibility of local pickup by a friend to avoid custom tax before ordering

I’m personally not interested… yet (I may change my mind in the future)…. But wanted to let you know that there is someone in the Macan Forum that got one and installed it. He is very happy with it…

If you have questions, I’m sure this person will be happy to answer.

He shows his installed shifter in post # 26.

His screen name in MacanForum is BMinSFL.

I can also relay any questions anyone might have to him…

Thanks @santirx - i am also on that forum and have been participating in that thread as well (under different handle).

I will post pics after I get mine installed, hopefully, 1-2 weeks from today.

Hey,

Was just looking at this and would be interested. I have a 981, but I imagine these would be the same @paloma if you can confirm fitment that would be great!

Let me know if you think this would be possible/confirm with Euro Impulse:

Design: Metal
Engraving: Blank or PDK (if they allow)
Shift Boot: Yes
Shift Boot Stitching: Black or White (depending on how close this is with the factory Rhodium Silver interior stitch)

 

[nathanr93]

Just ordered and saved (-$109.60), thanks @paloma !!

I have a 981 also. I reached out to EuroImpulse. Reply...
Yes it looks like the conversion will fit perfectly. However, we need to keep in mind that since you don’t have the hazard/lock buttons on your factory trim, you will need to swap that cayman badge into the button housing instead of the buttons. They are super simple to unclip and remove from underneath.

I did a little digging, and found that the factory trim piece (for the manual transmission) that holds the "Cayman" badge on the 981, and the the trim piece that holds the hazard/lock buttons on the 718 are the same part: 991-553-651-01. So, the badge on the 981 should fit the button housing supplied by EuroImpulse.

Also, the main bracket in the center console that everything attaches to (including the PDK shift plate/housing) is the same part on both the 981 and 718: 991-553-263-01. I think that tells us that the shift boot should be fully compatible with either the 981 or 718.

As far as the upgrade goes, I'm still thinking about this... I might be going with the factory carbon fiber trim kit, which includes the shifter (but not a low profile one of course)

I was looking at the Suncoast kit and just saw this thread.

For the 718 does it come with the hazard/lock button trim?

Current list price shows $548 not $524?

What is the current negotiated discount without tax and shipping?

I'm waiting on Euro Impluse's end of august shipment as the leather knob will be solid, not perforated.

UPS just dropped this off in front of my door. Feels really heavy. Can't wait to get this installed but will need to wait until Friday eve.
