I cant get a good picture of mine - too shiny. But my custom graphic is a compass. Figured it would help me with my motoring adventures.

Nice SHIFT ****. Looks so cool, some part of it reminds me of a lightsaber for some reason.

Does your polished shift **** get scratched easily? I'm debating whether to get the broshed or polished. So let me know thanks.

Great looking chrome **** and lovely pics.
What if you are wearing a ring- does the ring get knicks from the **** or does the **** finish get kmicks from the ring? just thinking of keeping up the excellent finish

He does great custom work. I can't find a pic of mine, so I'll take another. Check this pic out though:

Mine says HOLD ON!, with each letter being a gear, and the ! being 6th. The ledgend is inside a set of wings.

Also, FYI, there is a group buy going on over at MINI2 right now.

Good luck!

>>why do these remind me of those pictures you find on ebay, where the guy is taking a picture of something highly reflective, and he's invariably visible in the reflection, naked?

Well, they are photos of my highly polished **** after all...

OK.

Here's mine. It is Jonathan Livingston Seagull. If you read the book, you know that it's a story about a bird that wants to fly fast - really fast. (It's more than that, of course I know... but for here, that's what it is.)

Sappy, I know. Elegant, classy, meaningful. I think so.

I really like the great custom engravings and combination polished and brushed finish-
quite beautiful.
I didn't see any naked drivers in the reflections- I tried hard to find them.
I'm glad that the **** doesn't itch so that scratches don't happen-thanks for checking.
How about an engraving of the MCO logo and a user name below it on a two tone finish! :smile:

Cool, nice to know it doesn't scratch, thanks binkydognose. minihune, I like the polished and brushed finished too, hahahaha, yeah no naked drivers, hahaha.

IQQIMINI - did you have to pay extra for that polished/brushed combo? I really like that style alot and yeah, I too have read that Seagull book, very inspiring. Very nice idea for your shift ****.

OK, I was making a design for a couple hours for my shift ****, I had to throw away the complex ones I made and decided on something very simple. Well here it is, let me know if it's a keeper:


It's a breakdancer doing a headspin (I breakdance aka B-Boy) so I though it would fit well. mightyminiz gave me the idea to do it and it's cool how each point of the breakdancer's body points to a gear, which is why I liked it. So what do you think?
