    I'd love to review it for you. If, that's okay of course.

    I have material and the drawings done just haven't had much time open on the printer should lighten up here in a couple weeks. On the plus side since we've been so swamped we may be getting a bigger better printer .

    Im very interested. I also have a 3d printer so if someone could make a file available Id give a shot at making one out of ABS. Either way Id be interested in 2 from you.

    Nice to hear! Once my brother and I looked into tooling costs, it was readily apparent that it'd be impractical for us to offer it. I look forward to your alternative.

    Yes, once I see the manual version with the 3 guage pods I will be on it. I would prolly have mine wrapped in wood to look ultra nice

    I'm very interested in a M5 shift surround copy. I have a shop to get it covered in leather so that wouldn't be a problem. Make them and I will get one!

    If I can get my hands on one of these surrounds, I can try a few out with CFRP.

    Nicely done! If anyone is in a huge rush heres another option! How are you attaching it to the center console? I know with my printed design I made the mounting tabs replaceable. Good work!

    When I've wrapped up a few loose ends I'll make all the files available so the community can do what they like.

    Thanks! I'm not attaching it. The original ones always have the tabs broken and sit just fine. I could screw metal tabs to the MDF, but I'm trying to keep the cost under control. I think it's fine to just sit there.

    Well I've tweaked the design to better accommodate the replaceable clips. You should be able to buy one unit and and long as the leather is good (you have covered) the clips are replaceable as/if they break.

    Tweaking the fitment a little and adding a bit more reinforcement for you guys . . . they're coming!

    you have my interest now.

    got to thinking I have the gear select indicator on the dash, why do I need one down by the shifter?
