yeah, i saw it, but if its going to be like $300 bucks like i'm assuming it will be, i might as well just buy a simmilar **** and slap a JCW sticker on it!

dont get me wrong, it looks like a great ****, but unless the price is right, its not worth the money spent versus imporvent gained.

The Voodoo **** is the one I had in my Miata. It was a great shift **** but in all honestly the Whalen is better. Same great feel and finish but with the great ability to customize it. For Real- The Whalen is everything the Voodoo **** is and more. I used the Voodoo **** for over 3 years before I sold the car for a MINI. The Whalen is weighted and sized really close to the Voodoo-in my opinion.

If you don't want to disconnect, this is for "too hot" or "too cold":

ARG, you guys have confused me good. I doubt I will replace the steering wheel purley because I like my airbag and audio control.

However I really like the whalden, but I need to get some kinda of engraving on it.

SIGH... Do I do Synthia? Or FlynHawaiian?

I also had a Voodoo in my Miata - it now lives in my tool box because it won't fit on "Sam". (Even had the prancing chicken on the side of the car. :smile: )

Whalen is just as good - if not beter - than the Voodoo. I just bought the polished with no engraving, and looks good with the chrome gauge rings.

No extra charge, as long as I can draw it up with my own software.

The only time the price goes up is when I have to pay for the services of a graphics person.

what software package are you using? I can do it in autocad or solidworks depending on what you what, just let me know. maybe you have some good ideas, of what I could do here. I want it to be tasteful. I will be getting the perforated black leather shift boot. Not a chrome guy but in the brushed finish would be grand.

Synthia, isn't eigther. Seemed like a good strong name for a mini.
