Hey, Dave,

Those are awesome. Only problem I wonder about is the sunlight being intensified with the **** might do some damage to the interior... sort of like a leaf under a magnifying glass.

So, maybe you should through a nice classy cloth, like one of those satiny glasses cleaners over it when you leave the car.

Oh, and please put me down for a mag red one, cause mi auto es like (don't know the word) su auto!

Uh oh, people may blame me for light-spots in their leather! Thanks alot, Mr. Leadfoot!

Seriously, I suppose I can splash a bit of yellow in a ruby red **** to make MAG RED II. Mmmmmmm.....

BTW, future projects may include a 2.25-inch diameter ball, a 2.5-inch wood ball, and of course, a short-shifter stick ****, all in a rainbow of different colors........now if only I could quit my day job.......

Thanks for the compliments, everyone. I'll be cranking out many more reds, various shades of blue, and some bright yellows soon.

It's especially nice and very unique. Plus, we all know the artist. Damn, you're one talented dude. Love your cold air mod, and now this. Will be interested in a purchase, when they're available.

What's the ETA on these things to be for sale???

Sure, you bring some Hurst and BPP shifter samples and I'll bring the shifter *****.

Thanks, ACELR8N. If anyone deserves a free one, it's you!

I hope to have some within a few weeks. Is it okay if a few errant bubbles are visable? I don't want to disappoint anyone. I also hope to get quotes for large quantities of locking collars; I just don't have the time to do everything myself. Hopefully, I can keep the price low.
