Interior Mods

yosman8 · 06-25-2015, 08:12 AM

Hey guys (and Lups!), I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying themselves.

I was going to post this yesterday after I did the DIY install, but like a girl waiting for the opportune time to instagram, I too have realized there are optimal times to post on the forums for a decent audience.

Let me start by saying thanks again to the folks at IND. They always have great customer service and I again am left wanting to return.

In my most recent order with IND, I purchased the M-Performance IND shifter with alcantara boot and tri-stiching, as well as the M-Permormance E-Brake with alcantara boot and trip-stiching. I also ordered the Pedal Haus set but have yet to install.

These two mods are some of my favorite and are right up there with the steering wheel, as I touch all three often.

Anyway, enough chatter, here are before and after pics!!

Also, I'd like to thanks IND as well for their YouTube channel and DIY videos. They made the install a 10 minute job with no confusion. I'd highly recommend anybody doing similar mods to check out the vids. Thanks again friends!

looks great!

I have the e-brake handle on order myself. Haven't decided what I'm going to do with my MT lever yet though.

Is it me viewing on mobile platform, or are those pics unbelievably blurry?

Looks good, but would like to see better pics...

Definitely just you. When I click on the photos it brings me to a separate page with a decent pic. Try on your comp when you have the opportunity.

See, that's why I ask politely instead of making an ass out of myself and saying "ur pics suk brah!"

Lol.

Thanks! I too was unsure of whether or not I wanted this shifter due the fact that is doesn't optimize the light capability of the stock shifter. However, I realized I could care less about such a minute detail. The gains outweigh the 1 loss.

Speaking of gains, the feel of this shifter is 1000x better than stock. The height is much shorter, giving the shifter and throw a much more comfortable and sporty feel. Also, the alcantara is a much nicer material on the hand than leather. Overall, feel is drastically improved over stock. Loving these mods!!

Haha thank you for not jumping to conclusions! Let me know if you're still having problems viewing and I can either PM you or email you the pics so you can get a better view!

No sir. You don't notice it like you think you would however. Almost didn't buy it for that reason. Very glad I pulled the trigger.

Interesting. Do you miss the leather feel? Can you get it with a standard boot?

Andrew115 · 06-30-2015, 03:33 PM

Wish I could find a tri-stitch without the carbon fiber handle. Maybe that will be my search tomorrow.

You can buy tri stitch boots and attach to oem shifter. pervious gen. owners did this.

AM4ZING · 06-30-2015, 03:44 PM

Hows the feel of the M Performance shifter compared to the oem zhp knob?

I think we are talking apples and oranges.

Looking for a parking brake boot, not the shifter here.

Same goes for brake boot... even easier to switch out, all it requires is a zip-tie

can't comment as I've not felt the zhp. always wanted it but fell in love with this instead. again, light-years better than OEM shifter, but can't say for oem ZHP.
