So wild. Have you driven with the stone one at all? It must feel nice, being a little weighty.

Here's how mine's going..


Then working on it with a sander.



Then I realized I was planning on painting motorcycle parts the next day and I have better knock it the heck off because I was blasting wood dust all over my paint booth, LOL.

Nice, that's shaping up well.

I haven't used the stone one yet since I don't have a car that has the same thread pitch/size for the shifter. I'm also redoing the surface since I didn't like how it turned out and trying to make the metal portion pop more. But yea, I'm quite curious to see how it is. I forget how much it weighs, but it's pretty hefty being granite.


Edit: I forgot to ask, did you predrill the bottom for whatever you're using to thread on to your shift lever?
