Paint that shift knob bro.

Looks good so far btw.

I'm undecided on that. Might powdercoat it though.

looks a little off.. maybe a little too glossy to match the interior?

SPOHN · 10-19-2011, 05:51 AM

It looks shiny in the pics. Some of them has to be taken with the flash on. But it's not in person. Plus plastic pieces are not going to match the interior that is a fabric based material.

I like mine silver... although have been thinking about having them wrapped in matte carbon.

Same here. Ive considered using 3m vinyl but it looks pretty intimidating

Looks awesome!

If you PC the shift knob, have Mike do a Satin or Flat Finish that will match. He can do others aside from Gloss.

The black trim parts look much better than silver oem imo. But there's always the concern about scratching paint off. Still wondering if there's enough interest in molding new parts in black or other colors?

But that metal panel in the middle does not look good at all!
