Red stitching is getting the axe. Saddle brown seats in the future as well.

What shift knob is that?

Super-Klasse runabout knob. Nice weight vs OEM, and the leather and stitching are top notch.

I was driving home and I was behind a truck on a single lane highway. I was behind the truck for a couple miles keeping my distance because it looked like stuff was going to fall out of it. Once it turned into two lane road, I spend up to pass the truck, I kid you not, something orange (and plastic) flew out from the right side of the truck, hit my front tire, then left paint marks and dents along the drive side of my car. I couldn't believe it. I was pretty mad the whole way home and I thought about getting the license plate of the truck, but I decided not to. When I got home, I saw the damage and luckily, I was able to wipe off all of the orange paint and there was no scratched paint - it blew my mind because the object left some nice size dents. I called a few places and settled on a guy in Baltimore. I called him on a Friday and got me in on Monday - he even let me use his wifi while I was waiting. He did a fantastic job and now my 6 month old car looks as good as new!

I think you will be happy with it, I love mine! They should be offering shift/brake boots shortly as well.

Love the feel of mine, matches perfectly with the REAL wheel.

Did yours cause issues with the reverse lockout or have they fixed that?

If I tightened mine the whole way down I couldn't get into reverse. They sent a jamb nut to remedy this but it made the knob sit way up and expose the white plastic collar on the threads. I ended up just keeping it one full turn up from tight and added some medium loctite to the threads.

Is that black steering wheel trim piece on the spokes a TS part number? I haven't been able to find it yet.

Coincidentally, that was my 30th birthday present to myself.

I took a small piece of plastic from a ballpoint pen and placed it atop the shifter threads to give me extra height. You could potentially use a set screw inside the shift knob, but this was free and fixed it for me.

It's the silver piece painted satin black. The trim piece can't be purchased separately from the buttons. Personally I was not looking to spend ~$170 just to have it black.

Looking to get mine done as well. Did you do it yourself or got it professionally done?

Got it. I was looking at the right part then, bummer it's not separate. Thanks!
