So the MGW stainless shifter bugged me a bit , I have black only in the interior, and dont like different interior colors...yes I am weird.
I decided to powdercoat it black last night. I also did an old turbo housing in hammered bronze, the cast aluminum finish stuck out like a sore thumb on my junk wall.

blacked out stainless and painted shift pattern:

I have been using meguiars ultimate waterless wash and wax for the last few months and it's really good.
I am happy with the CTP, it's much smoother after buff , and I have read it gets better after multiple applications.

So I will report back after a few detailing nights.

Nothing like a 170 mph toy. Can't wait to get mine..hopefully Saturday. Good info on the shifter. Have to see how I like mine. Haven't driven a stick..in millions of years.

Sorry, my photobucket account is useless now. After 12 years of using it for 3rd party hosting with zero issues, the money hungry bastards want $400 a year subscription fee...ummmmmm no thanks...F you!

i will test another hosting site

I might have a small obsession with corvettes and of course corvette hotwheels!
I ran out of clear track, I'll get some more and replace the white junk soon

Thanks my friend. Like you it's a work in progress. Just supercharged it last month. Might change up the skirts, and possibly next summer I'll add some HRE's if I don't go with more power lol. Couple more pics, and my old Z06.

She is the best!

Is going for more power AND HRE's an option?

Would love to help you with either side of it when the time comes.
