Pic request: Craven shift well cover on stock shifter?

I searched and couldn't find any. I did find other posts about how there was a picture floating around here that no one could find though...

I'm thinking of getting the shift well cover, but I'd like to see it installed on a stock shifter first. I just put on the M7 CF ****. I think they'll look pretty good together.

I guess the fact that no one has a picture should tell me something...

They only have a picture of it with there shifter. That's ok though, I have a pretty good idea of how it will look. I'm actually going to shoot Red line an email and see what they offer. I'm thinking maybe a black and white checkered flag boot.

I really want to use the Helix SSK, and I know the stock shifter will be ugly with the Craven well cover.

I ran the stock shifter with the cover for a couple days. "Reverse" hits the side of the cover. It looks okay i guess. You probably do not want to run the stock w/ cover. The stock arm isnt polished and the clamps for the stock **** are ugly and are not meant to be seen.

The shift well cover just uses the stock plastic piece that retains the factory shift boot. I cut a piece of plastic the right diameter and with the square for the shift lever and epoxied them to together. The shifter is just the stock lever with the helix ssk. I also shortened it, bent it towards me and painted it black.

It does look good. I'm impressed. If I was still in NH with a garage and my tools I might give that a shot.
