I just received word that my shift **** is done. I ordered a a6 shift **** from twm performance and had it custom engraved by Doug Whalen http://www.whalenshiftmachine.com/ (he is popular with MINI and BMW owners). It was $30 for the design/engraving/shipping. Here are the pics of mine and one of the **** my girlfriend has on her MINI cooper S(to show some of the custom work he can do).

 

I like the design, im just not a fan of the round *****.

 

that looks dope,

good job

 

right on dude. nice touch. im not a fan of the round ***** either though....

 

I guess it's all personal preference. I don't see why he couldn't do something custom on different shaped ***** though.

 

how heavy is it?

it looks badass

 

It is 485 grams (1.07 pounds)

 

kinda cool looking...i like the color

 

can he do other ***** besides round?

 

i like the third **** lol

You could e-mail him and ask. I would assume as long as it fits on the machine it wouldn't matter, but I am not sure.

 

Question: does the graphic line up when you screw it on? How would you have marked that beforehand?

my guess is that you probably have to use the locking nut

It doesn't matter.... we have a locking nut at the bottom.

 

Well, the TWM has a nylon insert, so that you can line it up. http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/column/index.html But, if it didn't you could either use a locknut or install the shift **** and mark the front before shipping it out to him so he would know where to line up the graphic.

 

Looks good....i like it.

 

not bad i like it

 

i like the R, cause it does this SI-R kinda thing. but than i dont. throughs the balance off for ME. i want to design one now....

 

Nice touch!

I'm not creative enough to design my own, so i just told him to do a similar design to http://thewhalenshiftmachine.s...98846 Except with the Si symbol. He has done a lot of cool designs, i just liked that style the most.

 

tthat is the single most sexy **** EVER!!!!! Good god...

 

As other stated, not a fan of the round ****... But the graphic and quality of work is top notch...
