    We are now producing carbon fiber shift gate "risers" for the manual transmission F430. If you got a carbon fiber interior on your new 430 6-speed, you might have noticed that the part underneith the shift gate is painted silver, and does not match the rest of the interior. Our carbon fiber version is a direct replacement for the metal riser. The carbon fiber weave pattern matches the rest of the OEM interior components.

    Price is $600.00

    Thanks for looking.

    Very nice, too bad mine is F1.

    But, I got my paddles from you. Excellent Quality I might add!

    Do you have pics of one installed?

    Very interested as I have upper and lower zones.

    Also, you have the ask tray cover too (in two styles if I recall). Maybe a shot of that too.

    Thanks.

    The one photographed is the first production example, and we finished it yesterday. We'll have photos of it installed soon. In the meantime, rest assured that we guarantee fit and finish quality. It is exactly the same inside and out as the OEM piece, and matches the other Driving Zone pieces.

    We'll post some pictures of some other 430 stuff, too.

    Thanks for the compliments.

    Looking forward to seeing the photo of it installed. BTW, is this part Texalium or actual CF?

    This thread is only 18 years old lol... But I am exploring options for this part. Does anyone have experience with this one, or recommend another?

    I'm not sure if Valence is still around but back in 2006 when this thread was created there were tons of complaints of people waiting many months for parts with zero to no communication from Valence. It was a disaster back then and I can't imagine it is any better now 'if' they still exist.

    You may want to reach out to John at MaCarbon. He is very good at making specialist parts and their quality and service is excellent.

    I sent an email to Valence 2 days ago. No response yet. I figured unless it was actually on the shelf in stock, I was not going to go that route. I did see in search history several complaints of customers not getting the parts for lengthy times.
