    Guys, thanks to nickinfleet for his loaners, we are on the way to having your 08 and up shift bezel insert ready to go.

    This piece is, well, piece of crap, :eek: but Neal has it all dimensioned up. To keep the cost in line we are producing a fixture that will allow us to bend the piece to fit. Right now the pic shown here is in the raw and flat. Its a piece of garbage LOL. What will happen with this one is that once he bends it we will sand blast it and probably flat black it, then it will be good again. We could machine the contour right in but its going to drive the price sky high. We want to keep it in the $40-60 dollar range. With the fixture we are building to put the bend in it the part will be clean and fit really nice. We won't release junk to you guys and gals, but I wanted to give you all a progress update here.

    You can send me the template and I will waterjet cut this profile out for you in light guage aluminum ... it will give you a cleaner part to work off of.

    either way .. good luck.
