Geez, you guys are killing it!

Looks great! I talked to that guy about one for my car but he didn't have anything that would go well with the red interior.

Come up with your own idea and send it to him. The **** I bought was completely custom, he never made one like it before. It took some time to find the right stains and the lower aluminum was his first attempt also. I will be giving him some feedback on things that could improve the **** in case someone else decides to do the same.

Did you shop for that shifter online? If so where? I've been thinking of replacing mine and would like to look at all the options, if possible.

The guy doesn't have a website unfortunately so you have to contact him via email and he will send you pictures of the different ***** he's made. Don't let that limit you though, he's talented and an artist, if you have something in mind you just need to convey it to him and he will work with you to get what you're after. It will cost a bit more than his standard products if you customize.

I'll see if I can work something with a red and white to match the interior without making ti look like a stop sign.

Is this the same adapter you used (he said he could supply it):

And since I went off topic, here's my spyder in the wild.

I used the shortest one he could make and its powder coated black.

It's not quite the same, if you look closely you'll see that the aluminum on mine curves out. The extension in your photo is straight. He can do both.

Here's a shot of my Spyder at the La Jolla Concours today...

Just acquired this beautiful GT Silver Boxster Spyder. Love how the sun dances on the car and creates various shades of silver.
