Default Shift ****

I have been trying to get this **** made for me by Bulletproof Automotive. So far it has been 10 months. Many problems have arisen from them along the way and they are still not sure if it can be made. Maybe if there were more interest from others they would have more of an incentive to move along with the manufacturing process. Regardless I sure do love the **** though.

And yes, if someone worked with them, they could probably build a shift **** for the RCF/GSF. I worked with them in the designing and building of my one of a kind ISF steering wheel.

I have several replys into their posts here about the carbon fiber flat botton steering wheel with red leather and they have yet to respond to me. I think they are not interested in my business. .
i do like that carbon red leather **** above but I may go alittle more "fun" than that....

Edson, I have one on order too. Been like 4 months. Losing faith by the day, probably need to cancel mine.
Thought bulletproof had their &@$# together but guess not...

I have that same shift **** ordered through BP auto since Sept, can't believe your order is 10 months and still nothing. I am thinking of canceling my order too. Can't believe BP auto is doing this.

The order started out very smoothly at first. Sent them $295 + $150 core charge on 5/17/16. I was dealing with Bo at first. Then they had trouble shaping the carbon fiber and etc and etc. Then Bo got very ill. I did not want to bother him that much but soon it turned into Sept and a new person Alan took over. He of coarse had to get caught up. He finally asked around January if I wanted to get a **** painted rather than carbon fiber. My car was in winter storage anyways so I asked if carbon fiber was still possible or kaput. I got a message last week that said it is possible but "We're currently going through a transition with our carbon fiber guys at the shop" I guess I'm going to wait until May (one year!) then ask for a refund.

Just talked to Alan at Bulletproof and they are going ahead with the carbon fiber ***** and said if we could wait a little while longer things should be all good. I just think the **** looks so good in red leather/carbon fiber I am still in for the long run!
