Did I mention it is a Canadian Shifter? So I went Canadian for the install.

During.

Throw is amazingly shorter. Definitely well worth the cash. Install wasn't too bad except for dropping things under the shifter. Oh, and it looks as if a small woodland animal with sharp teeth wrestled some food from my hands.(a little sharp around the shifter boot) It doesn't sit any lower than stock. At least it is not noticeable if it does. Like I said the throw is sweet!

Default He is just starting out but he is gaining manufacturers quickly.

His business partner is still in Iraq and will be home in April so it will get less hectic for him then. But, Give him a call and see what he can get for you OR let me know and I can help him look for parts. I am his VAG-car connection. He has worked on many a honda/acura and is broadening his horizons into the German and American cars and is getting more interested in Turbo's. I am going to get some EBC brake pads from him soon b/c my Mintex Red suck. W/o shipping I can get the front pads for about $50. Wouldn't have to get anything shipped if you live in Westlake, I live almost half way between you and him.

Default Was yours one of the shifters already made or

was yours made and shipped already? I haven't heard anything from them for a while and seeing this is getting me anxious.

Mine was already made. They had 5 made and I think I was the 3rd to claim one.
