I'd like to know also. I googled everything from "checkered flag antenna ball" to "chequers antenna flag" (in case they're made in Quebec).

Okay. Seriously. Where'd you get that ??

Thanks, man!

I will need to look that up. it is a basic pool ball, but then sent it to http://www.whalenshiftmachine.com/ He took the ball, and made it into a shifter. I had to buy the entire damn set of pool ***** just to use the blue one.

It is a tad, flamboyant, as my mother said.

It is the Vortex scoop from M7. Comes unpainted, so you have to get that done before you install it.

thanks, diablito. i appreciate it. Good thing I did this stuff last year. With the economy the way it is today, I would never consider putting the effort or money into these upgrades today.

My guy at Knauz that works on my car is fantastic. One of the nicest, most sincere people in the auto industry.

Now, where did you get those 37 numbers on the side? I think those are really cool... Look really-- retro!

i love it but i hate it!!!!

i love it because it's exactly the plan i have for my MINI (whenever that may be) and i hate it because now i feel that if i do the same for mine, i'm only copying and being unoriginal haha absolutely amazing job though
