As posted in the What Did I Do thread yesterday, I was one of the first people to order a pair of the GT3 RS style paddle shifters from Ninemeister - I've been looking at options for these since the 3RS came out as a lot of reviewers commented on how satisfying they were to use. I preferred these to other magnetic options as they are designed for the car and the levers are machined as a single piece rather than having a common shifter and interchangable levers. The benefit of those is their adjustability, but I wanted something as close to OEM as possible.

I like that the additional size is in a practical location when your hands are properly positioned and the shifting action feels very satisfying and mechanical.








Here's a quick vid on the install -


Neither YouTube nor fixing cars is my day job so apologies for any issues or errors.

That's my thought too, yellow +/- matching the RS shifter is probably the route I'll take eventually.
Question: what color is the red stitching? Mines bordeaux and seems like when buying parts the "red" stitching option is usually carmine or guards red.
I want the racetex boot but may have to go custom on the stitching to match the color.

I've taken a screenshot of each and I think they're the same.

I looked at the JCRs even though they're more expensive but I watched an install vid and don't fancy taking the OE shifters apart to fit the paddles. Might make it harder to go back to stock come sale time.
Aye they do look pretty much identical. Only thing i would say is the paint infill looks a little more heavy handed on the red ones but could just be the pics. Looks hard to justify paying so much more for the 9M ones but guess you then have a UK company standing behind them for any issues.
