Here is a pic of a CF PDK shift **** I got from mcCarbon. It is a stock PDK **** refinished in CF. I like it more than the stock CF option, as the stock one only has a circle of CF on either side.

Did you add any other carbon options? That looks really great.

Car was a launch car, so I did not get to spec it out, but it had everything I wanted. The CF sills, CF dash trim was it from the factory, and I added the CF shift **** myself.

I think the trick with CF accents is to not go crazy with them. Otherwise, it looks kinda junky, at least to me.

Only other thing that would be nice, appearance wise, would be a CF accented steering wheel with the paddle shifters, but the only thing available directly from Porsche now is the CF MF steering wheel with the buttons.

There is supposed to be a CF wheel available on the Macan that is a paddle shift/CF combination, so that may be available down the road.

To have a custom CF/paddle shift type steering wheel made up by MAcarbon (did my shift ****) is about $3.5K, and that is too much money. I just don't want it that bad.

Agree, the trick with CF is restraint. Sills with stock trim is enough for me, along with the shifter.

Where did you see a photo of the P oem carbon shifter?

Here is the Porsche CF PDK shift ****. Pic is from Suncoast Porsche Parts website. I like mine better. You can get all the factory CF trim parts separately from there, usually discounted. Tons of Members here buy from them. Website: http://www.suncoastparts.com/mm5/#

Both ***** are within just a few dollars of each other.
I bought my **** from GMP Performance. They are a forum sponsor. It takes couple/few weeks to get it because they are custom made.

I did brushed aluminum accents in my car, and yeah, the PDK shifter gets two brushed aluminum "buttons" on each side of it. Sort of cheesy in a car at this price point, IMO.

Both nice. Mine has the OEM CF with the two side areas only. I actually prefer it but of course it is all subjective.

LOVE my illuminated CF sills-worth every penny.
