I have seen another Swedish 968 with a shifter knob from a 996. I have found a 997 GT3 knob (grey alcantara) on ebay that would really look the part with my grey OMP alcantara steering wheel. The steering wheel trim is aluminum and so is the knob. Anyway, 996 knob does fit with a little hazzle, but how 'bout the 997? Does anyone know if 996 and 997 are about the same, or at least similar, in design?
Looks like uncharted waters.

I'm leaning towards a linen shift boot for my intr and the 997 shifter would work great. They are more inline with the original style of the 968, yet it has modern touches to it, like the stitching and aluminum shift pattern.

The neck does appear to be skinnier.
