Got it. Well it should fit but I would definitely want to test it on a 2nd gen to see what may need to be modified other than the internal piece. My ***** are specifically made to sit low, but they should also work with that white plastic piece on. I just want to be sure. I will do some research later. Any 2nd geners in San Diego who wanna meet up? Im in North County...

Of course! You've been with me since the very beginning. I appreciate all your help! Ill burn some more so you can choose if that is the **** you want. If you just want plain then I can do that too

The Alum **** on the left is straight off the machine. So you can KINDA see some machining marks in the metal. The **** right next to it has been scotch brighted/ buffed to remove the machining lines. They are very similar. And obviously the one on the right has been polished slightly. I had a long day at work last night playing around with these *****. So much fun.

Yeah, the second one looks darker for some reason. Is it like 1/2 polished or something?

Yea it's half polished. I didnt add polish to it. I just removed the machining swirls.

Sorry everyone for not posting when I said I would, I was enjoying a day off with this nice weather here in SD. I have some rough but fairly accurate pricing for these *****. These numbers do not include shipping costs at this time. They also don't include engraving because that will be an additional charge as well. Keep in mind these are NOT FINAL prices but are relatively close to what they will cost.

For the ALUMINUM **** without polish or engraving, they will cost about $125.

For the Titanium **** without burnt finish or engraving, they will cost about $235. To have a burnt finish will probably be around an additional $10 but I have not evaluated the cost yet.

Please keep in mind that these numbers are not final, but are very close estimates of what they will cost. I know the prices may be high for some of you, but keep in mind, I am not mass producing these in China. These are 100% made in the U.S.A. and are of the best quality you will find. Not to mention, this is the only Titanium **** available for Automatics that I know of.

I am still awaiting the arrival of the final components for these shift ***** which should be coming sometime this next week. I will most likely have the ***** available for purchase hopefully the week after next. I am finishing up my college degree and finals will be that week, but I am excited to get these ***** out to everyone so I am working overtime.

Attached are some more pictures of the final product with the lower mating piece that screws on to the bottom. Once I get around to installing my NiftyShifty boot, I will show pics of that as well. For installation instructions I will most likely be posting a video of how everything operates sometime soon.

Also, I would like to mention that for those of you who just want the ***** without engraving, you will be receiving your shift ***** sooner than those who want to have custom engraving. The reason is that I will have to program and set-up a machine to do the engraving, and it will take me a weekend to do so, since I am so busy with school and working full-time during the week. At this time, I have a limited amount of Titanium and Aluminum ***** available so once they sell out, it will take me a couple weeks to make more.
