I agree 100%, nothing on the market right now looks nice. That's why I just wrapped mine in leather. Best solution I could find. Pics on website.

Me likey but it's not going to happen. If you want gated, you would have to rework all the mechanics of the shifting mechanism. Too much money and work, and not enough demand. Not if you just want the push down style still in the in-line formation, that would be nice but again I don't think it can happen on the Max, I've played with it alot and unless you make a really large **** there is going to be nothing to stabilize the **** on the shifting pole with. Or maybe I'm just tired and dont talking about.

I think it can be done, i took a look at my dads 91 maxm although intimadating i think it will be possible. If it does come out relativly cheap(like ~ $100) then only would i consider selling point of view. If it is at all possible it will be done, once i start on a project i have to finsh, its like an addiction.

Let me know when you're done... I can see by yours that you have classy, so I'll be your first customer if it works out.

I agree with the general consensus here about auto shift *****. We definately need something that is sans the bling-bling and doesn't look like something out of a porno film. I like the way 5-speed **** you posted looks. If you make leather wrapped auto **** that's tasteful and incorporates the buttons we need, I'll definately pick one up.
