Default Owners of Manual IS 250: Who wants a short shifter?

I have a contact at B&M Racing & Performance, for those of you that don't know they are well known for making excellent short shifters for manual transmissions as well other products. They do not currently have plans to make a short shifter for the manual IS 250, however, he said if I can guarantee him at least 200-300 customers, they would design and market a short shifter for us. Let me get a roll call started, please add your name to the following list if you are interested:

Ya 300 is a lot, however, they sounded pretty receptive, they just want to know there is enough demand that they can recoup their production costs, I figure I get a decent size list here, at least 50 or so, show that to them and go from their.

How will they pull off the "trigger" to go into reverse?

I'd be surpised if Lexus sold 300 MTs nationwide.
