M Performance DCT trim with parking brake handle

SapphireSiC · 11-22-2014, 08:16 PM

My latest interior mod. Like how the alcantara comes together now.

Looks good. Easy install?

Nice! You are only missing the shifter now haha!! I have the whole thing already but thinking about the Performance wheel now. Are you getting the wheel also?

I think I am going to skip the shifter as I have the aluminum trim and it comes together for my eye. I like the alcantara wheel a lot especially the carbon fiber lower trim. Have to let the wallet recover after the holidays!

Very easy install. I pried the shifter trim up from the rear because it seemed like the gap was larger there. I used a plastic "putty knife" I got from one of the auto part stores to wedge into the right rear gap and then put tape over a tiny flat-blade screwdriver and wedged that into the left rear corner. I used painters tape to protect the trim. It pops out pretty easily.

Looks great. Though i wonder why the stitch pattern on the brake handle boot doesn't match the pattern on the steering wheel

Thanks,
I noticed the same thing with stitching but I guess I can live with that. The IND piece has the same stitching as the steering wheel but you reuse the stock parking brake handle and I think the cost was higher. It is leather instead of alcantara as well.

I just got this and think it's the best M Performance deal going...trifecta of alcantara, carbon fiber and three color stitching for $170. If this were a Porsche part it would be $600.
