Sounds good.

For future reference, if you ever do want to include the "+" and "-" it is fine to do so; these generic symbols are fine to use and engender no trademark issues.

Thanks again, and I will be on the lookout for purchase when you are ready.

Keith... Silver? Hmmm... I can ask them to do a 1-off set for you and see what they want for it... Let me get a quote..
Thanks for looking out Vic!
I have a "Light Silver" Carbon Fiber Interior kit and would like it to match.

Shoot me an email with a couple of pics of the interior if you can.. get a few normal shots showing the whole interior and also a closeup of the carbon pieces so they can see the weave and colour.

Dont worry.. anyone that has a deposit down on them can use it for whatever style they want..

I didnt take any more deposits after the initial ones because I wanted to wait until I had a concrete product in my hand ready to ship.

I am waiting to receive the first carbon paddles so we can test fit them into a few vehicles.

Price will still be under $300 for carbon and $250 or less for piano black.

Here are some more shots I received.. The paddles are on their way over to my friend's place.. He has a few different MB Cars so he will test fit on a few models for me and let me know how they work out.

Remember, these paddles are now 2 piece design so going forward, I can make silver carbon, red carbon, red KEVLAR, or any other material and you can switch the paddle itself to a different design without removing everything out of your steering wheel.. I will make different colours and designs of paddles so as your mood changes you can swap them out..

Now, onto the pics:

Looks great! Vrus are you compiling a list of people who want to order? I'd like to be on the list.....

Also are the screws going to visable from the front or the back? If they are from the back, how is the feel having a different surface?

I am trying to figure out a way to organize a few hundred people onto a list...

I'll set something up on the site and keep track of the names.
