Too cheap for that lol. Custom ordered from China, the company that makes those mass produced black perforated ones. Real leather, real suede. Fit was 99% perfect. Send them a message to request customization, then when they tell you they can do it, order it.

It's not been a year, yet, but I still have one installed.

Here's a DIY I did a while back, kept it on for a short while but my wife wasn't a fan, and it's a bit clunky to get out of park lock, look pretty good though.

B2autodesigns shifter. I like it, its a bit different. My stock one was scratched up and peeling. Instal was 2/5 difficulty, but 3/5 to get it just right.

You can still get the $15 one. Its not real leather though, its a synthetic replacement. This is a bit more expensive, but its real leather. Its not the highest quality leather like RedLine Goods, but its pretty damn good for the price youre paying. And Yeah, they let you customize it a lot now before it was all just black.

You just tell them what you want, what colours of thread, they custom make it for you.

I had that issue too, I rounded off some of the internal pieces, and moved the biting point up a bit with a slightly thicker shim than the supplied plastic one. Now its like butter, and you only have to press it down about 1/4"

It's the same one for sure, it still shows as being the same one I ordered. I got it last year though. I think they raised the prices after more of us started buying it.

Hmm, possible. I bought a black one from another vendor a few months back, but it was terrible quality, and had a leather pattern printed on it. That one cost me $15.

You nailed it iCrap, shes a total loss. I will find out more about the settlement in the morning. Added up all the Mods since I bought her 3/16. Roughly $7,540.52 in parts and roughly $3,800 in labor. Seams kinda ridiculous now when I only paid $13,500 for the car and I still owe around $7,000. My father always told me "you must have more dollars then sense". Probably ganna fix her and pay out of pocket. As I said before it just makes me sick I was just sitting at a stop light.
Thanks for the support y'all.
