Got my illuminated shift ****

the interior was in need of an update, so I started changing the steering wheel, new leather, new seats and i really wanted to change the look on the old shifter and boot but somehow OEM seems unreasonably priced, so I came across a company that made custom shifts and boots and they made a illuminated shift **** (kinda BMW M looking) and it came along with a brand new leather boot with stitching. Price was actually half than OEM but in my opinion, much better looking and more up to date.

examining the product i would give it a 8/9 out of 10. the leather was good so was the stitching, the **** was professionally made (funny but its alike BMW oem quality) no mickey mouse stuff.

you can choose the colour of the LED lighting but I went with white.

Looks good. Does the shift **** fit into the OEM shift blade?

I will post a installed pic on the weekend. am also doing other updates to the interior, OEM LED guide lights found on inner door panels in bmw 335i's, a reface of the old gauge cluster, retrofitting it with a custom made stepping motor LED gauge tacho meter. will post that also once finished.
