Interest in TWM weighted shift ****?

Im trying to convince TWM to make a weighted shift **** for our Max's and im sure it will go quicker if more people than just me are interested. If youre interested, just post that your in. If not, then, well, be happy with your Greddy and Skunk2

If you want to see their design, heres the link...

Good! So we have two people interested. TWM said they will eventually release one, but maybe if we get enough people to post their interest here, we can speed up the process!

I'd be down for a shift **** on a couple of conditions (1) they don't charge $95 for it, want some sort of deal (2) it is low profile like the original, I had a cheesy universal **** that sat real high (3) it is an exact fit, no allen wrenches universal bullsh*t (4) matches some factory colors or has carbon fiber. Don't want to sound ****, but I'm tired of parts that come out that are half assed. When you spend over $30k on a car, you aren't going to put cheesy items into it.

cool. anybody else? Just keep in mind, youre not going to be paying right now for it like a group deal as its not yet available. Rather, if youre interested in it, just say youre in

sounds good.... i'm kinda not feeling the long / tall ***** though. hopefully they can come up with a nice low profile like what Screamindman said.

but i'm down for anything that will improve the shifting of my 6spd.

we got the shift *** right out of the GTR, u guys really hate it that much?

I'd certainly take a look at one, but no promises from me, i definatly think it's great to have the option. (I also think they are a tad pricey, at 100 bux they charge for the other cars, but if they come out then bring them down to earth pricing (like what they had to do with their STS) i'm certainly gonna consider it.

Compared to the skunk2 and Greddy ones, these are down right slick! I admit, id like them to look a little better and the gear pattern on top would be nice, but, who really looks that close?

i like ***** that are shaped similar to the greddy ones. Kind of a cylindrical shape and not like a shaft. Its just a personal opinion and i prefer the feeling.
