Wenge pistol grip shifter

My latest creation.....
Wenge is known for heavy black and brown grain. A beautiful wood that I think goes very well in the challenger.

Ya it does but I might want a pistol grip shifter with more modern materials just to keep the look in the interior. Such as carbon fibre or aluminon or some darker metals etc.

To me, it looks like the design could be improved on.....

** Looks way too close to the front of the stereo.

** Maybe some rounding or taper to the top and bottom edges.

** Maybe a metal piece between the handle and the mounting point.

** Maybe a top cap.

** Use a black plastic or carbon-graphite material instead of wood.

No I agree with everyone the work is very good I was just trying to suggest having more options when it comes to materials and I bet he would sell more. But dont take any of my comments the wrong way these shifters are awesome and I took a look at your site for them and you do have alot of options for customers. Great job on these I was just giving my input.
