James,
I think you need to consider when dealing with the machine shop that you have almost 20 individuals who are strongly considering buying this product. If you can workout a group buy whereas the first "20" members will pay at this price, then I'm sure the machine shop can do a volume discount with that many initial guarantee. $600 is fairly steep for most of us especially since it really doesn't buy you any performance gains. However, if you can get it down to a more resonable cost, I think most of us will jump at this opportunity.
Here's the latest list by the way:
1. z-u-later
2. Oleg
3. Ghost 350z
4. chsia
5. aloh
6. Sergio07350Z
7. Brody350
8. Jgregory124

11. Fabre80

Awesome, James! I'm sure your dad knows there's a huge market for your product so it's really not a high-risk venture. Also, I'm sure you & your dad have already thought about getting a patent pending for this product. Do you happen to have a picture of your re-designed paddle shifter?

Update,
Machine shop hasnt give me a qoute yet. He was super busy this pass couple days. He'll try to get in today or tomorrow.
I have started the drawing for the Shift ****, and then get a qoute for those. Question about the ****, material: Alumn. or Stainless steel?
