Please keep us posted on your progress with this mod. Being a mechanically-challenged person, I'm not 100% following everything on this thread. Can you simply replace the stock shift knob with the GTR version without any shaft modifications? I've got a MT boot installed already, so there's no need to adjust the height.

Thanks in advance!
Thanks!

I very much appreciate the offer, but I think I'm going to try and paint it satin silver first and see how it comes out. If not so great, I am going to try some brushed aluminum vinyl like this 3M 1080 Vinyl Wrap - Brushed Aluminum

As to the shaft, it will fit as is and work fine without the clip (see details a few posts up), but I may try and figure out a way to clamp it down without having to dremel into the shaft -- a modified pin/clip used with a tiny hose clamp, for example.

I'll take pics and make a little write up as it comes together
