I wouldn't recommend them based on my recent personal experiences with them and a quick search of the forum. That being said, I run the shorty grip tape too.

Recent personal experiences with the shift knobs or the SC kit?

I ordered a flossy knob years ago. And it took like 8 weeks and communication was awful. Decided to give them another shot. Knob was at my door within 14 business days as he said it would. And communication was awesome. Answered my emails within an hour or two.

I stand corrected. This is the grip tape shorty.

I ordered a redhead shorty for my STi a couple years ago, the engraving was perfect, it arrived in like a week or two.

I ordered a grip tape shorty for my BRZ, the engraving was a little bit off, it arrived kinda late, and it wasn't properly drilled. It took a week just to get an e-mail response.

Yes, it just took a while. It should have been QC'd to begin with.

First post....

1)tom
2)East Tennessee..
3)Have a deposit down with the local dealer. Either 755 or 285 is coming up from another dealer in Georgia.
4)6th car so another fun car.

Pumped.

Long time TriBeCa owner and my ex roommate has an 01 RS. Mechanically inclined but keep things stockish.

Just curious, any idea what dealership its coming from? I inquired at 2 dealerships and just found out they sold the one they had in stock the other day. Not that it mattered to me since I already have mine!

Theoretically, Subaru of Gwinnett in Duluth. Subaru is showing 100 or so left nationwide.



Edit...the local dealer just called and said it was coming from 'classic'. 747 is the last three digits.
