I really don't understand the appeal of this one...I mean, it's stock with red lettering?

 

It makes no sense to me, either. The stock **** was the one thing I disliked about my MINI, so I swapped it out. The red lettering really makes no difference; it was the size and shape (the feel) I disliked.

 

Yeah I think if someone liked it that much, they could get away with putting a red film over it instead of buying one

 

Great looking shift ****! It would have to come with an oven mit to use here in Phoenix...

 

Hm. Well I don't mind the stock **** at all... and I have a RED/white mini ... sooo ..... AWESOME **** color.

Isn't the red lettered JCW **** illuminated ??

 

See my gallery....

 

Here is my pretty Whalen ****... Doug is GREAT!!!

Tiina...

2008 MCS Dark Silver, all the packages...

 

If you want the JCW shift ****... I could've sworn that I saw a fellow NAM member selling their shift **** from their JCW. I think that it is in the marketplace..

 

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay?

 

 

Those Whalen shift ***** look awesome!
How comfy are they temperature wise when it is really hot or really cold?

 

My 07 MCS sports a shift **** and ebrake handle in cocobolo from Robin Casady. The rich, deep color adds a note of understated elegance to the cockpit. But what attracts me the most to these pieces is the incredible fine-grained texture, transforming simply shifting gears into a sensual experience. Makes you want to feel up your car constantly! Outstanding mod.

 

Here's the one I got for my wife. and yes, she named her car ROXY
I like how low the shift **** sits. It's like adding a short shifter.

 

Here's mine, er, Topper's! Fantastically smooth feel and shifting!

 

I got my new Whalen Shift Machine this week!
Check out photos in my gallery.
I also filled the engraving with blue epoxy to increase the contrast.
Doug is fantastic!

 

I got a Whalen Shift **** for Christmas from a really good friend!



I'm beyond thrilled!!

 

an incredible number of you guys are rockin the whalen shift *****...

kinda surprising to me, i'm not a huge fan of the look of them.

i'm beyond happy with my jcw shift ****. Super comfortable, and the CF is awesome.

 

Pictures do not do justice. You have to see one & FEEL one on a shift. I got mine a week ago & experience of shifting has changed completely. Quicker, more crisp, & definitive. My **** also elevates my interior to a whole new level. You have to see it then hold one on your hands before the install.

 

a friend of mine has a momo **** that looks exactly like it, except it doesn't have all of the fancy engravings on it. It's freezing cold in the winter time and hot in the summer.

My jcw **** made shifting 100 times better too. I like having finger grips for pulling back into 2,4,6, because I don't like having my palm on the top of the shifter all of the time. I drop it down like I'm holding the handle of a gun when I pull back into gear. The top is perfectly round such that it fits perfetly into the palm of my hand for easy pushing into the R135 gears.... I think the cf and the jcw logo would elevate an interior higher then a giant silver ****....

but, to each his own.

 

I sold mine. I really did not like the feel of it, and it doesn't look all that special either. I got the JCW CF/Alcantara shift **** instead, and I like it a lot: looks and feels great.

 

:werd:

i got the leather though, I've heard that the alacantra won't last much longer then 2 years.

 

I also have the Alcantara shift boot, ebrake boot (and CF handle), and JCW steering wheel (with CD insert). At least on the steering wheel, the 3&9 hand positions are wrapped in regular leather, with the rest of it in Alcantara. It looks very cool and I get a lot of compliments on it. I may still do the CF dash.

 

^nice..

i thought about doing the cf interior, and still may, but i need to pick it up aftermarket or used or something, it's way too expensive from mini.
