I am considering purchasing a new MGW shirt shifter and I am trying to decided between the flat stick or regular short shifter, the gripper ****, race **** or the queue ball. I have seen a few photos here and on the web but figured that there were many of you out there that haven't shared a photo yet. Post away for me and others considering what these look like in the C6!
I just installed mine last week but I just got the stock stick and using the stock shifter...I love the way it shifts. You wont be disappointed no matter which shift or **** you get.
It looks stock.....nothing worth taking a picture of.
Yeah, I am sure that there are a lot out there that have the stock appearance. I was just looking to get photos of the new flat stick with different colors and **** combinations as well as the original short shifter with different *****, boots, etc. That way people can look in one place to see some different combinations.
I do not have a pic handy, but I originally went with the gripper **** and now have an 8 ball. The stock **** never felt "right" to me, I like to shift with my palm on top of the shifter, not around it.

What pool ball **** did you go with? The threads matched the MGW?
I was looking at the black ball with the grey strips and shift pattern but thought it was for the factory shifter. I like the gripper. It feels good but if the sun is just right it reflects off of the chrome center ring right in my eyes. I thought about painting the ring.
I pulled the ashtray out and am going to drill a hole in the plastic behind it to run the cable through. Then I can close the door and hide the Vitesse so if I take it to a shop for anything and they need to drive it I can turn the throttle controller back off to SP0 or an E number and they won't know its there. And if I ever want to take the Vitesse out I can just put the ashtray back in and cover the hole I drilled.
Plus on Vasiliy's plate you would have to cut out a slot to mount the Vitesse.

Honestly I got it for free from a member here, it was threaded to fit the stock shaft, when I ordered my MGW I got both the stock shaft (?) and the one for the gripper ****. I will take a pic tomorrow.

All you have to do is tell Vasiliy the dimensions of what you want cut and he'll do it. In fact, there is a post at the tail end of the thread mentioning cutting a slot for the Vitesse controller for no additional charge.
With that said, using his plate wouldn't give you the option to hide the controller.
So that is the factory shaft and the **** does not thread on? Just uses the set screw?
When I ordered my MGW I ordered two shafts from them, one for their Gripper **** and one that the factory **** would fit. I think it was less than $20 for the extra shaft, I figured that it would be cheap insurance if I did not like the Gripper **** and wanted a different **** from the aftermarket. So all this is a long winded way of saying yes, the **** in the pictures does not thread on and uses a set screw.
What's the reason for the flat stick? Is it just aesthetics? I rather prefer the boot just hiding the stick.
I like the look of the white cue *****.
Just something different and you don't see all the time. Plus I have a Torch Red 2011 C6 GS so I think it looks good if I have the top out and someone see the red car and the red handle with the white ball. LoL
