Owners of the Porsche 992 Turbo S are increasingly customizing their vehicles, moving beyond factory options to personalize their high-performance cars, according to observations from the Porsche community on February 16, 2026.
A recent trend involves modifications to the gear selector, with owners opting for aftermarket components like the SOUL Performance “RS Style” Handball Gear Selector. This upgrade, inspired by traditional gear-shift designs, aims to improve handfeel and create a more engaging driving experience. The selector is available with grips finished in Suede or Carbon Fiber and lettering in white, red, or yellow.
One 992.2 4GTS owner documented a self-installation of the SOUL Handball RS Style Gear Selector, suggesting the process is manageable for those with mechanical experience. The installation appears to be consistent across all 992.2 models, according to reports within the Porsche enthusiast community.
The move towards customization echoes a pattern seen in previous generations of Porsche sports cars. One owner, previously modifying a 996TT with a tune, exhaust system, upgraded turbos, a performance clutch, a flywheel, and suspension work, expressed a desire to replicate that experience with their 992 Turbo S.
Beyond the gear selector, popular modifications include exhaust system upgrades – often for both sound and potential power gains – and intercooler upgrades to improve thermal management during track use. Engine tuning remains a common method for increasing horsepower and torque.
The SOUL Performance gear selector is designed to fit all Porsche 992 911 Models equipped with the Lever Gear Selector, spanning model years 2018-2025.
