Interior/Exterior Bead-Blasted Whalen

Bead-Blasted Whalen
My Whalen Shift **** arrived yesterday, and I am very pleased with it. I thought I would let people know that Whalen has a finish option that is not mentioned on his website: bead-blasted, which is a rather flat satin finish which matches the Mini's silver interior trim very closely. It looks like it is a stock ****. I am very glad I learned about this option, maybe someone else will like it too.

For the first version, I used Tamiya Acrylic model paints. My car is EB, so I did the "wing" lines in blue.
Thanks for asking!!

Nope, it's the stock length. I just have the boot pulled up and ty-wrapped so it doesn't slide down.
Thanks All!
