LOL
It did just show up. Noticeably lighter than the Titanium version, but not so much that it should matter, even though I wish it weren't. It's the identical dimensions, although about 1/8" higher. Again... doesn't matter. Fits perfect.
Looks... eh. OK enough. I didn't buy it for looks, I bought it so I could drive the car in the winter without having to wear a glove all the time.

Vanity. The leather ripped right off it trying to break it loose, and the wrench dug groove into the surface. It's still functional, but looks like garbage. I suppose instead of this LatheWerks ****, I could have bought the OEM **** new from Infiniti.
IDK, man. It was something to do.

Please post pics... I'm curious to see what this thing looks like. The shift ****, not yours!

It's on the car right now. Next up for winter... duckfeet and snow tires.
Having a Stone Interior means the black **** doesn't exactly work, in so far as matching trim goes. But it's not horrible, and there's an argument to be made for similar black trim throughout the dash. A weak argument at best, I admit that.
Honestly, when sitting in the car, it doesn't seem as mismatched as it does in the picture. Not sure why that is. The lighting is certainly different than a camera flash, so there's that.

If they at least allowed me to do stuff on my condo garage, I'd be so happy lol. I have a workshop, but no space of my own, it really sucks. Anytime I need to do something substantial, I have to rent a shop for like $30/hour (cad). I would do unspeakable things for a clean space like yours man ^^.
Hahaha. If you lived in the area I'd gladly trade you garage time for services rendered. Me (and my company) are always looking for someone with graphic artist skills like yours!
Thanks for the compliments, guys. We put in a nice bar area with butcher block counter for my wife in our kitchen a few years back and I somehow over-measured the counter top by exactly 8ft, which of course left me the perfect amount for my new workbench surface. ;-) I then took a very high grade two-part self leveling epoxy and coated the entire surface with it for an almost impenetrable surface. Unfortunately the workbench is covered with parts for projects on several different vehicles right now, so it isn't nearly as clean as in those pics, but I plan to spend the long holiday weekend finishing those projects and getting the garage cleaned up. Yay me!

Now we're getting way off topic, but, yeah we did Rubicon for the first time back in August of 2014. It's not an overly challenging trail, but it is VERY long (over 18 miles of dirt and rock), so I suggest doing it over 3 days (camping two nights) rather than trying to squeeze it into 2 days (camping one night). The scenery is absolutely stunning and you want to make sure to leave yourself enough time to enjoy it all! Here are a few pics.
On the initial "Runway".
Coming up Little Sluice.
Going up Cadillac Hill.
Couple of the many bridges and water crossings.

Pretty basic. Soft to the touch, simple satin black. I'm re-using the titanium boot ring at the base.

I don't think your new **** looks bad at all. Like you said, definitely not a perfect match for the other brushed metal parts or the stone leather, but not a complete mismatch either.. Plus, if it's only a Winter **** then you really only have to look at it a few months out of the year. ;-) Once you change out your shift boot that might help integrate it all into the interior better as well... That is assuming you ever get your material samples from Redline.
