That looks fantastic!

I'm so happy that the adapter works and looks the way I hoped it would.

Thank you for posting the pic!

Mark you're a good guy, always putting customer service at the top of your work. That can only be appreciate by us buyers/customers.

Hmm.... That looks awesome with the white roush. Side etching huh?

White, Blue, or Black **** with 5spd pattern and GT logo on sides sounds great.

Awaiting the VB pictures. I think it would look better without the swirls. If it could mimic the factory coat I think it would be amazing. I just got in a set of the mirror covers and man they are sweet.

Thanks! It looks a lot better than the adapter I'd fabricated. I don't have access to CNC or anything like that, though. I am thinking about sending one to Marcello, though, to get it coated to match the shift boot bezel and cupholder bezel. But I'm very pleased with it. We put one on our '05, too, but then purchased a Hurst shifter this week. So I'll have an extra one i can send up to Marcello.

Hi Randy,

We are trying to find a way to do that. We could just paint them like Hurst does but the paint alone is not durable enough. Over time the paint becomes scratched and chipped.

I want my ***** to last a lifetime and the best way we have found to accomplish that is to incorporate the color right into the acrylic resin. The swirls are due to the the way the metallic flakes bunch together during the mixing process. Non-metallic colors do not have any swirls.

I think the swirls are very attractive but I know that many folks (me included) would like to have the option of a nice even finish just like the car is. Trust me, if we can find a way to do it, and be durable at the same time, we will put them on the market!

I love R&D.

I totally understand that. Wonder if there is a way to use centrifugal force to even out the flake?

Sounds like you've got some really great customer service!

I'd be interested in a custom **** if you'd be up to it.

Either something with "S197 GT" or "Kenne Bell Supercharged" etched into a black or white ball.....

Think you can make it happen?

Thanks fop the pic of LL, looks great!

That's about where my MGW Gripper **** is now, still looking for taller. The top of the **** is about at the top of the HVAC ***** and I'm looking for the top of the **** to be near the bottom of the radio ****.

Well the way I see it, if they can put man on the moon, I think I can find a way to make a shift ****!

"Kenne Bell Supercharged" might be a tough one though. There is only about 1" of space on the **** for engraving. I'm afraid you would need a magnifying glass to read it!

On the other hand "S197 GT" is doable. Send me as PM with an idea of what you think the artwork would look like and I will see what I can do.

Thanks!

Mark,

With an attitude like that how 'bout making a 2-3 inch extension (in chrome, satin or polished) that I could mount a Legend Lime **** on top of ? I figure 2-3 inches would put the top of the **** at or near the radio **** which is the height I am looking for.

Is this possible?

Thanks,
Kelly

Hi Kelly,

It can be done. The only question is the time and cost involved in making a "one-off" part. I will send you a PM to discuss the details.
