Carbon trim for CAE Ultra shifter
My buddy whom is a BMW tech installed the CAE ultra shifter for me this past weekend.
I knew the console would have to be cut to clear the shifter bits so I purchased some really thin carbon panels planning to use them to cover the hole left in the gaiter area since the console will he notched and I would not be using a fabric boot. I saw some company in Germany selling plastic covers and I thought I Can do that. Here's the what I came up with and pretty content with the result. The Carbon may look a little funny in the image since I have not peeled the protective film off it yet. |

Are you saying you find the exposed mechanism and trans tunnel more pleasing?

If you look at what others have done without a fabric boot it looks pretty much the same and i gathering most don't even try. I don't value this more than I've committed anyway. |

I need some covering, the alcantara idea looks great! I love the look of the exposed guts but at the same time covering it up might be a good idea now

The alcantara I'm using is more gray than the black such as the Performance wheel and ebrake boot I have. Just a heads up if you were looking into alcantara options. It works well for that piece as it blends in with the console really nicely IMO. |

I tried using my old alcantara shift boot, modified it quite a bit (the stitching) and it seems to pop off if I go into reverse lol. I like the alcantara look, I have the armrest delete, performance elec wheel, ebrake etc. If you make any more let me know! I'll be happy to purchase
