Yeah. Along with the Flamethrower 10,000 FC headlights. Lots of good stuff in that catalog.

Those are beautiful. Almost makes me want to convert my auto to manual.
Get the best of both worlds

Rob reminded me of the billet aluminum shift **** in my S2000. I had to wrap it in silicone tape so I could grab it in the summer heat. Forgot about that little detail. With a sunshade and a/c this **** should be OK.

Damn, I didn't think about that sucker heating up in the sun. I'll spit on my hand first!
I'm diggin' the catalog, there's some stuff I would buy, just slightly before my time.
Speaking of age, here's an actual snippet of a text I sent today to a 928 buddy of mine you may know, but shall remain namless:
Me: "I put a feeler out in the 356 room to see if anybody had seen one of these ****'s in chrome before. There's no one in it."
Him: "Maybe they are all dead."
Me: "HaHAHaHAhahahaha."
"No ****."
Oh man, that made me laugh all over again while I typed it.
Back on topic:
Yes I wanted a industrial performance look.
Secretly, I always loved the Italian look with the shift gate.
The shift pattern was tight before, but now it feels rock solid.
You fellas have a good weekend, all my best.

Just a quick FYI, for those following thread.
I did hear back from two 356'ers who think the **** is probably aftermarket after all.
Oh well, I'm still jazzed up.
My wife asked "if it was done" when she saw my work...
she is a great lady but has never shared my, enthusiasm let us say, for the car. (She became somewhat biased, just because there was a small fire the first time she rode in it. LOL)
It did prompt me to dress it up at little more and but a black leather wrap over the stick.
