No, but I would now consider getting one.

I used one for a while with the tallest shifter rod he had. I really like the ball but the rod was too tall (mad the shifts even taller and more vague). I would recommend getting the shorter rod.

Good to know! @Murphy, they have a deal when you buy one the second one is $85, if we go in on it that would bring our cost down to $123 Per shifter know, which makes it a lot more attractive to me. Are you in? Anyone else? See if we do a mini group buy and drive the price down a bit?

I have an all aluminum one. Standard shaft height with black shift pattern. It's really nice, but then again I have it mated to a Numeric shifter. In either case, I would recommend it.
BTW, I think the $85 for a second one is only for a spare ****, not the whole shaft and ****...

this and a cheap alcantara boot I bought on eBay, I just received a bespoke number from Redline
and haven't installed it
there's about 3/4" of height adjustment on FF shift ****, I'm pretty sure I left it in the tallest position
the boot isn't zip tied in here as I was trying out different heights
Mine is on a GT3 shift assembly, the results are wonderful

I have been looking at their shift ***** too! I am in on a group buy if that can be set up.
I may also buy a set of their motor mounts but I am torn between their's and simi-rigid mounts like WEVO. I am also planning to attend the Porsche Swapmeet in Hershey, PA on the 21st... so I am thinking I might pick up some motor mounts and other toys there!
Cheers,

I've had one for about 2ish years now. They are "meh." The biggest gripe I have with them is the finish; it doesn't appear that the aluminum was properly cleaned before being anodized, so it will forever look like there are stains on my shift ****. Maybe I just got an unlucky shift ****?I can post pictures later tonight.

Am I the only one that thinks that looks like something bought at Napa for $5? No offense to anybody who loves it, but I just think it doesn't look at home in a Porsche. It belongs somewhere more like this:

Don’t be such a Chevy downer.... my PoS Chevy set land speed records running over 170mph for 24 hrs. You ever see any else’s production car touch that? I will give you a hint, only car to top it never saw the production line.

Allright! All good info here (and, more pictures the better too), so far sounds like the plastic ones might not have the anodizing issues and the short shaft is the way to go. Also, Sweet Victory, any more input on the feel, performance? And, maybe you can exchange it if you are not happy with the finish?
