I'm not sure if these are already available, because of the highly expensive material and machining process. But I imagine with a committed large order, I could arrange full spherical or half-cap machined true titanium shift *****...er that sounds kinda weird, ah, anyway maybe I am smokin' the chronic on this one, but real titanium is pretty exotic material, be cool to have one in the IS. Expense, easily figure 150-200 each !!! yikes, well titanium is a strategic metal and market value is very high for it, check this link for titanium fasteners you'll see what I mean http://www.mcmaster.com/ in the search box type titanium screws...major change unh ? Anyway, probably need an order of at least 25 to just cover material and maching cost.

The Titanium could not be chromed, and you probably would not want to, it is cool looking metal all by itself. And shift pattern or graphics could be done, actually I could CNC machine the L from Lexus, but tweaking he CNC for exact font dimensions...well that would take awhile. I should should probably just do a demo unit and snap some pics of it.
