Default Custom shift ****

Hey CL, posted this in the mods thread already but nobody seems to be active in there, was wondering if anybody knew a company/site that does this - looking to do a chrome or brushed aluminum ball shifter with the F symbol colored/engraved on the top. Searched all over the place but can't seem to find anybody that does custom designs that aren't just words.

I may know a company who could do this for you, but they are UK based!

I'm sure there must be something/someone similar across the pond though?!

If not, I'll try and get his details for you.

They were my first call, they said it was probably not able to be done by them and if they could do it it would probably be $500+..... never got a yes or no from them even on that ludicrous pricing quote.

Ill let you know if i find someone who does them ISD, after hours of searching and coming up with nothing though it looks like the best option is to buy the shift **** in whatever material you want and then send it off to an engraver separately. Will be getting some prices together on it soon and ill update thread.

Interesting, can't believe that never came up with all my searching. Not a huge fan of the burnt look though tbh, a nice chrome or brushed one with the F in blue seems like it would fit the interior of the car better. Definitely not a bad option #2 though and its price is pretty reasonable.

The idea is fine, but it's just going to be a big wake up call if one were to leave it parked in the sun. The heat transfer when you're trying to put it into either D or R will be harsh. I would like to see an aftermarket shift **** that looks decent and works well with the F scheme, but there isn't much out there.

Actually titanium is very heat resistan so it won't get hot like an aluminum or steel ****.
