That is from RedlineGoods.com. You will be able to customize the color, amount or stripes and their color, as well as stiching color. His is charcoal with a light grey stripes with either light grey or white stiching. I went with the same leather colors, but double stripes, and red stitching. If you do the double, the stripes on the armrest will be in the center.

Yup, they make a ton of stuff. I highly recommend them. I have had the boots/armrest for a few months now and they are holding up well and look great. I also have door inserts for my car from them in the mail as well. The shipping is a little slow this time because I ordered so close to the holidays, but no big deal; I know they will deliver. If you like RedlineGoods on facebook, they often post up discount codes good for a few days, but you have to like them, to see the codes.

Hi TWM,

I bought a gunmetal shift **** from my local supplier and they have yet received the shift **** from you guys. It's already been 3 months!

It shouldn't take 3 months to manufacture and ship it across the border does it???

I'm not sure if this one is back ordered.

But I got the

M1 Abram in Gunmetal. No pattern print. No boot. Just the shift ****.

I got my dealer to call you guys and actually gave a rough time to your support judging by his words lol since this **** been so long to get shipped out. My dealer said it *should* arrive sometime next week or 2. But that's what I was told 2 months ago. I should have paid the extra $20 for the UPS standard shipping option...

I'm not sure if you will be able to track it. But my dealer is a local business here in Markham, Ontario called Nextmod. The dealer names could be Peter Pang or Kevin Lam.

Last question for you... can you give me a really good deal on short shifter?? PM me!

Thanks

In the morning, when its cold, it sounds like metal scraping against metal. But in the afternoon, its fine, great even.

I need to apologize to TWM because I have not sent them the video of my cable bushings that rattle. My computer is koput at the moment, and my cell phone will not send the video.

To anyone who reads this, please understand, I freaking love my TWM products, and highly recommend them even with the little annoyances I am experiencing.

First on a positive note, I'm very happy with my new shifter, bushings, and ****. It's made a noticable difference and makes my commute a lot more enjoyable. However I experienced the same issue as Druidiron when I installed the shifter. Using plenty of grease was not the problem, as the RL was so snug is pushes it all down to the bottom. I do have to mention that I installed it when it was pretty cold out and the RL only gives me fits when the temp is at or below freezing. When it's warmed up it works perfectly. I'm temped to take it apart and try sanding the shifter just a bit to see if helps the sticking issue, but where it's getting warmer I might have to wait until next winter to see if it helps any.

I just installed a TWM shortshifter and cable bushings in my 2012 tC. It was the best upgrade I have made thus far to my car. It is much more fun to drive, the gear selection is very positive the metal bushings give a much more solid feel than the crap stock ones did. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to improve their shifting experience.

i still need to install the cable bushings. It's supposed to be 70 this weekend so i'll probably do it then if the husband isn't too busy with his car.
