Things i love about it
-Feels great in hand
-has great weight compared to OEM
-Compliments the red accents in the interior and looks great in the cabin
Things i hate
-Didnt have the plastic adapter to attach it to the leather(So i had to Modify it, and take the one out from the OEM one)

I havent installed the lightweight crank pulley yet, i i'm going to professionally install it at a shop by my house tomorrow as well as the lowering springs

Yes you could get the Toyota badges and JDM Emblems in the USA,
I got my parts from Nigel-JDMparts.com Great prices compared to ebay and etc. You can get both Toyota emblems(Front & Rear) & GT86 Emblem for 110 USD.
Hope this helps. Oh and my wheels are Ace V12 - 18 inch - Toyo Tires i have to check the size.

Out of curiosity, is that the Redhead or the Redhead Shorty? It looks like a good size. I saw the Flossy boot retainer and thought it might be worthwhile ordering since it is only $15 (even if I don't end up using it).

Its the Redhead, i might look into that do you think it fits in the RedHead? Seems like the the Boot retainer cant fit in the whole on the RedHead shift knob from what i see.

My impression is that it fits all of their products. But I really don't know. It certainly will be something I will ask when I decide to go for it. I hope it fits as I like the size and price of the regular Redhead vs the Redhead Shorty. Next gift opportunity is probably Christmas.
