Joe can do brushed easy, I wanted the black to reduce glare. The TWM knobs are very nice, Joe includes a steel knob basically for free. He has the same styles as TWM and it has the shift pattern laser etched. The JPM is top quality, the threads are very deep and with the collar you can adjust the shifter length to your preference. I adjusted mine as short as it would go, I could easily make it an inch longer.

They're actually anodized aluminum And, yes. I have a stack of plain un-anodized ones that have a natural finish. I'm about to open the official group buy next week.
I just put steel because I can't spell aloominem Whatever it is it gets cold!

BTW, just for FYI they automatic version is past the design phase and is in the production phase of the prototype. I should have something for you automatic guys/gals in a couple of weeks.
Got mine last night. It is as every one has said a beautifuly produced item. I got the top collar in black to match my GXP colors. Im going to paint the trim ring the same color when I install it this weekend. The knob is a very nice flat white and the whole package is fery nice. Pictures to follow.
Just as a teaser pic, here's the partial prototype.
There are still a few peices missing to make the assembly whole. The boot will be fastened around the lower indented area but most of the shaft will be exposed. The larger flat ring just below the knob is the grip for your fingers to pull up to move it from gear to gear.
All that's left is to weld in a set pin for the disengage mechanism, and get the spring in with the proper resistance for the top portion. I should have it installed by Wed/Thursday of next week.
You pretty much summed it up except for the satellite TV (of course, you can get an antenna to make it as such, but it wouldn't fit on the solstice). You can get them for about $700 or so.
sorry to go off topic but what is that radio and what can it do?
is it a gps, dvd, satalite tv all in one?
As JPM stated it is a Pioneer AVIC-D3 DVD Navigation unit. I have hooked up a rear camera, bluetooth adapter for my phone and sirius satellite radio. Check my signature for full info and how to install info
