Whalen Inlaid Vinyl Shift ****

I have been thinking about a Whalen for sometime now and saw they have teamed up with Mike @AC and have come up with inlaid vinly shift ****. Was just wondering if anyone has ordered and installed one of these with the Union Jack yet and if so do you have pics....I have looked in their gallery and saw great check pics....would still like to see union jack too!

Thanks for the pics....They are a little dark but I get the idea of what it looks like...is that brushed? Also I noticed that they offer additional inlays on the order form....does that mean its interchangeable?

You live in TX and you're foregoing the Lone Star for a Union Jack? Shame on you!

Sorry for the blurry photos. The shift **** is actually polished. If you stick a screw driver through the bottom of the shift **** you can pop off the inlay and switch it to another very easily

Not a UJ vinyl inlay but maybe it'll help you get an idea of the quality:

Thanks for the pics and yes I am a native Texan and carry the Texas flag on my American made vehicle and hate to say it but the Union Jack is on our 06 MINI....we have not done anything to our 08 yet....Although the Texas flag might be a thought for the shifter...hrmm decisions decisions!

Thanks for the xtra pics minilra and also to Whalen for the Texas S Flag....In the spirit of my 06 that already has UJ Mirror caps I figure I will end up with the Union Jack shift **** eventually.....

Sorry, I can't help...but I wanted to say that Whalen is the best I have ever used. He made me a MSFIT Shifter and I do not think I will be going back any time soon...and when I do I will be ordering a Whalen Ball.
