The picture at http://www.egroups.com/docvault/dmcnews/shift.jpg looks like it will only replace the leather boot we currently have. I'd love to see a plate that replaces the entire horizontal part of the center console around the shifter. I would not be too upset if I lost the clock and dimmer control either.. BTW, will we have a option on the grain direction? Michael Babb wrote: <SNIP> > > BTW - I personally think that this would be a very cool addition to the car.
