      once you order the shifters are you going to make the prototype then and after that we can buy them from you?

      it will take me a weekend to figure out the changes need, but i am ordering shifters, so i will have to ready.

      i am also thinking of doing this on an exchange basis. to make it faster, cheaper. what do you guys think?

      if you could offer both that would work out good, cause im sure some people cant go without their cars for 3-10 days for shipping and such and also would eventually want to return the car to stock for resale?

      what i was thinking:

      Offer the current arm in my car (after i swap in the prototype) as a finished modified/rebuilt part with a core charge, the full $100, ready to ship. When someone buys it, they can then put it on and send me back their old one, once i receive their old one in reusable condition, i will refund them $40. I will then rebuild that one, and convert it to a short shifter, and sell it to the next person interested.

      if anyone does not want a rebuilt part, then i will offer them the new modified shifter for the full $100 with no refund.

      looking at my shifter and the schematics, the shifter arm is not a wearable item, so it will not be "inferior" or a "scrap" part that you will get. But obviously, if the arm is badly bent or damaged to where i cannot use it, i can not refund the money. But the odds of getting a damaged part is slim.

      the only problem with this idea is if people want it right away, and i do not have one ready, they will need to wait for either a return of a used one, or for the dealer to order one, depending on which shifter the chose.

      I'm down for one for sure. I'd do them one at a time, that way your not left hanging and out of pocket.

      I'm second in line, tidus10 seams to need one more than I do

      if I buy something on ebay from the states, they usually charge me about 5x what the shipping costs.

      bought some lights for the dash, was charged over 10$ for shipping, got it here it was like 1.25$...

      Re: Short Shifter Interest?

      i hate dealing with other peoples shipping, i personally have a fedex international account.

      I can send things dirt cheap, i sent a back seat(both halves) to washington for $50, i shipped a rad support from boston to me in pittsburgh for $32. But when i buy stuff its like $25 bucks for anything off ebay (because ebay doesn't charge into the % of the shipping cost only the sale price). But if fedex isnt cheap enough i through stuff into flat rate boxes..

      it should arrive soon? i hope...
