Do you mean the SI-Drive cover, or the shift knob?

It was mentioned at the start of the SI-Drive process that to anodize the 1 part, 2 different colours would be near to impossible. It would practically have to be a 2 piece item to achieve that. The way that companies like Perrin achieve it on their STI one, is they provide 2 stickers with each SI-Drive cover. So you choose the colour youd like for the centre of the cover. It looks quite good, but not as classy as an all metal cover in my opinion.

The same rules would apply for the shift knob. From what im reading online, shift knobs and reverses selectors, due to the frequent use, wear quite easily and develop rattles once warn. Even more so if theyre made of multiple pieces. So I want to try to avoid that by creating 1 piece billet fittings.

i like the sound of these 6mt shift knobs + reverse selecctors, similar to the si drive dial style in anodized black, keep me update. :D

Sorry not quite. The fabricators ran 10 days over schedule. They are supposed to be going to the anodizers today, and they take 6 business days to do their task.

I can assure you all that you'll be the first to know when they're finished, and that they'll be mailed the day after I receive them.

So sorry for the hold up!

Hey guys.
Just to let you know the 2nd batch of covers is at the anodizers and should be ready in a matter of days, not weeks.

Im incredibly sorry for the hold up, and really appreciate how patient everyone has been!!
