Clever idea, removing the OEM pattern from the bezel, in deference to the shift pattern at the top of the ****. I like that detail. And your red stitching looks great against black.
I know of two members here in the Sedan forum who have the Tommy Kaira Hebi Bebi Shift ****. I've seen that in person, too. None too fond of the overall design, or the odd little turtle logo, but the heft is really nice. Can't deny that. A heavier **** is a nice change.

This lathewerks guy has some interesting stuff, if he can produce this **** with grey leather (ad sans contrast stitching), I'll be his next customer

Pretty sure if you give Chris measurements, he can make you a boot ring specifically for the NISMO ****. A Ti ring would look fantastic with the NIMSO.
Weird not to see anyone weigh in with their Tommy Turtle.

LEGO, nice pieces sir!
Lathewerks still offers the "piston" type **** with leather wrap, but he can only do black leather
Got me searching for leather fabric, think this would look bananas:
Vinyl Grey/Silver Upholstery Fabric by KOVI
Hard to tell if it would match the darker grey of the stone interior though ... decisions, decisions...

I've had titanium nismo for a while then sold it and went back to stock - nismo gets too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. Maybe not as bad as aluminum and stainless steel but still not very pleasant. How do people live with shift ***** that are not wrapped in leather?

Not all of us work at home and keep their car in the garage all day
Even that little 1/4" of stainless steel in the polymer **** got hot. My car frequently reads as high as 110 sitting in the sun. Granted that's the cars thermometer, but it's still f'ing hot.

^good to know, thanks again.
Since he can only do black leather wrap, I'll likely ask if he can supply the above shifter while leaving the insert for the leather blank ... just not sure how confident I am in installing (cutting & gluing) the above leather myself...
