You weren't looking at the other one someone posted, were you? That's not our piece, although it is a nice looking part, 200.00 is a bit much for it... I want you to remember us for our quality, not for how many first-born children we took in on trade for it...
As to our prices...since it's been asked before..
64.00 for the satin finish
74.00 for the chrome plated piece
Price applies to both the stick and automatic parts - which I guess I need to come up with part numbers for... oh fun.
I'll keep everyone informed on availability, and release some pictures of the manual piece as soon as I have some back from finishing worthy of photography.

Ah yes, not too bad an idea, so long as it fits a Shelby okay, we won't have any issues...
Perry, check your PM box

Got some going to chrome plate soon as we're sure on the fit for both styles.
Tuscon - got the order, have it in stock, it will ship tomorrow. Although the shelf is looking pretty bare right now... time to fire up the machines - as if they were just sitting around doing nothing!
FLStang, I might have you go chase down Perry, but he just emailed me a little while ago - I've got a 5spd here on our car, just don't have a slushbox car laying around in an 05+ variety. I didn't have a chance to go to the local cruise tonight to see if anyone had one there, so there are already wheels "in motion" for final fitment testing.
More soon...

Hey guys,
I hate the anodizing shop.
They can take a good part and just ruin it.
I just finished rejecting the entire first run that came back with the bead blast / anodize work for the automatic cars. That stinks. The samples came back fine, but the run did not....
On the plus side, we did get some chrome plated pieces back, man those guys don't mess around, I wish they did anodize work too... anyway, they are all GT engraved for the automatic cars, I'll post some pictures probably tomorrow evening, as I didn't have time to shoot them in the studio today. I think they came out really nice, I'll let you decide when you see the pictures. there are currently 10 back, another 20 of these in process. It is just so backwards how it is coming back to us this time...
** on edit **
New Year's surprise - let's just say I don't like the size of the seat handle "covers" that are available, and I was playing around, and... well, coming soon anyway...
Also, redbullet - your idea will be moving forward, although I don't have an idea of how soon I can promise them - the darn clip is the pain part.

Chrome Automatic is available.
Satin Automatic was rejected due to anodize guys screwing up the parts.
Manual Chrome and Satin in the works - need more tweaking yet to be 100%. I'm still not happy with the part itself, let alone sending them off for finishing.

Not much - you have to work within the confines of the stock boot lip. It is square, and somewhat large. To make a more tapered part (pyramid top shape) you have to move outward a bunch more, or go at a steep angle to clear the corners - both do bad things to the look of the part. Ford can get around it by starting with a "clean slate" boot...
Hmmm....I wonder...

Got the door handles in today, they look lonesome and need some company.
