OK the pictures are off. Lets see who posts whhat.
Anyway we decided to make the ***** afterall. So now I can show you the top.
How about we make them in black only. I know gomez you have to have blue. But then I have to make them in red too. That means three times the inventory. Will it make that much difference? I mean the black looks best. The darker the color the better the engraving shows up.

The downside to to many clorors is that sometimes we will be out of some.
Speak up while I'm listning, which way do we go?

LOL!!!

First it's Florida's fault. Then it's the lousy electoral college system. Now it's Ohio's fault. The losing vice presidential candidate could have at least helped carry his own state. He didn't! Oops!!! Gore didn't carry his home state in 2K!!! Oops!!!

Why do you always get me talking about politics Richard?

The stock **** still fits. This one is optional. It also fits the stock shifter. Or anything with a 10mm thread.
The pictures don't do the engraving justice. It really is neat. True engraving not lazer etched. It is done with a mill tool. The surface is not flat it is curved. Yet the tool is programed right to the shape and follows the curve so the engraving is even all the way. Trick ****.
See if some of the pics show it sideways, then you can see the curve.

It's just so trick I can't stop with looking at it. Check out the detail of the seals and slots and gears.

Okay, okay....I do have a job you know! Just got a five minute break and checked the thread. The local time is 1pm, you can check the time diff for Ca from the top of this post Richard. Thanks for posting the pics Magix, I don't have access to my home email from here. The **** looks the goods though, I'll photoshop one in black and have a look at that, unless someone beats me to it. I won't be able to photoshop for another 5 hours......

Gomez.

Magix, this isn't painted...it's anodised. The colour looks close enough to me.

Looks good.

Not sure about the gear **** though. I don't like metal gear **** in winter :o.

It looks nice but for a brillant black it is not as special as the winning blue gear ****. Should suit Gomez though.

I am getting more interested at RP short shifter now.

Well I don't know what you guys want. The blue one looks close to a winning blue to me. Black is black and the red will not look painted it looks candy apple red. These could be powder coated any color but forget the engraving. It only works with the thin anodizing.
So only blue and black? naah the red looks good too.
Three colors it is then. We will see how they sell. If I'm stuck with a bunch of red ones I'll have them stripped and done black.

Edit( Yes, being from so cal I didn't think about winter. It could be a cold **** if it were freezing out. Well just have a summer **** and a winter one. That way you will not get bored. It just screws on. Don't you wear gloves in winter? I need to think about these things myself as I'm moving to Lake Tahoe sometime in the future.

Richard, Voodoo have sold thousands of all alloy ***** without complaint. Taka is a girl, the coldest it gets in Melbourne is about 34 deg f.....and that would happen three times a year while he is tucked up in bed at 5am. He can buy a **** glove if the heat/cold affects his delicate doctors digits . Now let me get to work on this photoshop thing........

I do exactly that, with a voodoo **** for the summer, and the stock **** for the winter. It does get quite cold here in the winter. I also find I like the change, since each has it's benefits.
