That's pretty cool, it looks like it would fit in your hand nicely.

Did I miss something?

I had to scroll through 7 pages looking for pictures, only to find that some other random guy on that forum posted links to another like that the OP started?!

Wouldn't it have just been easier to post this: Pics Of Blackwalnut Shifter - Focus Fanatics

Edit: It looks really nice.

It'll never get hot or cold due to ambient temps. I dig it.

I'd be more inclined to use one that was a ball style instead of the pistol grip style.


On another note, those kids over on the Focus site are some impatient people aren't they?

i like it, it might be more at home on a car with the same wood grain dash inserts though

if you put it on a vertical hurst handle it would be reminiscent of the old pistol grip style from GM A and B bodies and Mopars, like this:

nice work

I like it, looks comfortable.
I wonder how it would look if it was polished?

IMO the shifter knob can be the odd ball peice in the interior of a car.
