Black Alcantara Shift ****

Does anyone sell just the **** ? I want to add some more contrast to my interior, just looking for the **** if possible.

Don't want to buy the entire GT3 boot and everything else if it's not necessary.

I would strongly advise against an Alcantara shift ****. They wear and look terrible over time.

i think that most oem shiftknobs are a ****/boot combo only a couple of exclusive ones in carbon or various woods come on a separate form.

As far as alcantara one i believe the best bet is the gt3 one, not all that expensive, oem, perfect fit

I agree completely!!! I had an '04 BMW 330 with an alcantara steering wheel...it was AWESOME...for the first couple of months... Thankfully, BMW acknowledged the problem and replaced it with a proper leather wheel

I had my steering wheel re-covered in Alcantara and now wear gloves whenever I drive to keep it clean. The wheel is over a year old and still looks new.
