Shifter ****
A few days back someone was talking about custome shifter ***** for the C3 and how they could not find any. I thought about that last year when I was looking for a custom ****. I started to mention that I was making one but I thought I would just wait until it was finished. I finished it and wanted to show/Brag about it :D

I was the one that posted that topic. You did a great job. Would you consider making some for resale?
Drive On,

Re: Shifter **** (TJRed76)
I might. I do this as a hobby, so this took a little over two weeks to do in my spare time.. I think that I could make a couple more. If your interested email me and can give you the specs and see if that will match with what you need.

Re: Shifter **** (SprintCarDriver)
The reason I'd like a new one is because in the summer mine burns my hand and in the winter it freezes my hand. I want something that doesn't retain heat and cold so well. :yesnod:

Re: Shifter **** (SprintCarDriver)
Sprint;
Is there a reason it's two piece?
Is it just for an excuse to bolt it back together? :lol:
And I assume that when it's on the car the button pops up?

Re: Shifter **** (427V8)
The orginal desing was not allow the button to be removed from the shifter. Would have been easier to make without it. :yesnod:
I do like the looks tho. Yes the button does pop up when installed on the shifter...
