id like to see the dark chrome one also before you send mine out please. If I like it i will take that one instead.

 

Hey dude, I just left you a voicemail, but then I saw your post...you don't need to call me back.

 

you just left me one too (Jamin) and i think i am still good with the original finish

 

hey marcus, we already spoke over the phone, but I decided to just take the original shift knob. i think i'd like the contrast of color instead of making it dark colored to match the type-s interior. so whenever you can, i'll be ready to be shipped that fine piece of work

 

NP! Shipping both TODAY!

 

Thanks again Marcus.

And Sorry for calling you Mark first hand.

 

USPS says its going to be here today, woo hoo!!!!

 

I wanna see some pics! Lol hope they all fit, we used the exact drawings we got when we bought Maven off Dan.

 

Ok so here we go....first the good:

I love the way it looks. Perfect color, nice size, awesome finish.

The bad, and i was wishing this wouldnt be in issue, and thats how far it screws down. The maven is almost the same size as the base leather knob, but the leather knob has an extra plastic piece that helps cover the threads of the "stalk" and gives the appearance that is screwed down farther. It appears that the maven could be drilled/threaded farther given the extra room at the top, but not sure about the structural rigidity of doing this. Or, the stalk could be cut which would lower all knobs regardless of their height, but i would at this time prefer not to do this. Right now there are some threads that the maven knob does not cover...which kinda bugs me. But like i said earlier, i LOVE the way it looks. And here are the pics....

 

Thanks for the pics and the comments, but I think we would all benefit from some pics from where your perspective would be when sitting in the car. Few people drive w their chins on the armrest.

 

 

 

finally getting some dark chrome today!
