Custom Manual Trans Shift Plate/Console!!!!

I had a custom shift plate/console made for my Z!My car is a 4 speed car but it would work on the 5 speed cars as well.A buddy of mine made it for me.He owns www.jimmy-jams.com

This thing is awesome.He did away with the ashtray as I have no need for it and in it's place he put flat/lighted rocker toggles to use for my n2o system,purge,fans, and line lock.It's powderocated black and matches the factory console pretty well.He also added circuit breakers for each rocker which is alot easier than trying to wire in a fuse for each circuit.I'm a safety freak of sorts with automotive electronics.I had to modify the leather shift boot base to work with it...pics will come with that mounted in the car once I have it restitched and it looks good again.Thanks again Jim!

That's really nice, is he going to manufacture them in the same way as his auto shift plates?

Yes..I believe he is willing to do them on a per order basis now that he has the template from mine.Emailing him for more info would be best for sure.
