I am carefully packaging each **** so they will arrive in perfect condition. If you paid by credit card, there will be a CC slip inside the box. Match sure you grab it, becuase there is some newspaper wrap I used to cushion the *****, and I dont want you to accidently throw out the reciept. Thanks!!

It will hit the system officially tomorrow, and then 2-3 days from that point. I closely inspected each **** before shipping. If you see any cosmetic issues with the ****, we'll fix them right away. But I think everyone will be happy with their purchase. They look really great!

Can't wait to get mine. You closely inspected them for damage before you shipped them that is a good thing to do. But do they damage easily once they are in the car? I Dont care I will just clearcoat it if they do but I was just curious.

My "motto" with metals - If you can scratch it, you can polish it

... so don't really worry about that. I would think that this should be a rather robust know, but I am sure rings will take their toll on it.

ROFL!

any left?
Yes, contact me, as a might have one or two pieces left.

They do not damage easily. Mine still looks like new, although I dont have any rings on my fingers. Its a pretty hard steel, but not impossible to scratch. I wasnt looking for scratches per se, as there were none, but I was looking to make sure the **** wasnt cut or damaged in transit to me. I think everyone will find the luster and finish of the ****, just perfect for the 350Z interior.

I just wanted everyone to know that we will stand 100% behind this product, so in the unlikey event you have a problem, be sure to let us know right away, and we'll take care of it.

Received mine today, but will be some time before I install. Gonna change shift boot in the process. Quality looks great, heavier than I expected, but that should give it a good feel.

Thanks, Sharif.

11.2 oz carries a lot more heft than you'd think huh!
I'd guess the oem **** weighs around 6-7 oz.

Let us all know how you like em!

It's a very solid and precise feel once installed. IMHO, it feels lighter when rowing through the gears, vs. the OEM ****.

Glad the ***** are starting to arrive.

All of them have shipped. The last one shipped to Japan. So we have the USA, Canada, and Japan represented in the shift **** arena. Gotta love the international appeal of this product!

darn, I thought I would be first. However, since I've had my shift **** off before, and didn't glue it back on, it will take me about 10 seconds to install it tomorrow!

I'm only about 45 minutes from Sharif, thats probably why.
