Default Aluminum Shift ***** for Automatic IS250/350

Well TTC and myself have been discussing what little dress up items we could do for the new IS and we think a good starting point will be the shift ****. Trying to get a feel as to what would be the most popular. It will be a sphere shape with 1 of 3 options below. Please choose what you would like:

Plain
IS Logo
MVP Logo

If you guys have any other suggestions of nice dress pieces you would like to see in aluminum don't hesitate to post up. Please see the following link to see the array of parts he has done for us on the Supra!!!

Engine Dress, have to scroll through as engine dress doesn't seperate per brand

Regards,
Robert

I think a plain or with a subtle IS logo would be good.
As a suggestion, though, how about shift **** similar to the stock ones but replace the chrome part with a match red wood trim?
Similar to the 09 2IS with the matching grey wood trim.

I was always a fan of the MOMO shift *****. They even have nice ones for automatic. I also had a buddy who made his own for his civic 5 speeds back in the day out of aluminum.

aluminum accents eh? I'd love to have a polished or brushed aluminum trim pieces to replace the wooden ones I have with matching step guards.

About the shift ****, I'm very picky and haven't taken a look yet at whats available and what would look good in the 2IS.

Hmmm, how about a shift **** that follows the same general contour of the stock ****, however is in 100% polished billet aluminum? Like a teardrop shifter **** that shines like Christmas.

I love the MOMO shiftknob, but I wish it was smaller.
