Gernade shifter!
 

So project84 and I had some freetime on Friday, and decided to throw together a shifter. A little planning and we were off looking for something clever to use. Anyonebody want one? Its pretty decent looking. The one in the picture is natural (metal) color, however could easily be painted to the true color: olive drab. They could be painted any color very easily however.

We would be looking to sell them for ~$25 shipped to the 48 lower states... They will be made on demand, so expect a couple days turnover... If you're interested, leave me a PM.

Don't mind my messy car-- the interrior really does need help.
(and yeah the picts are on a slow server)

EDIT: I just realised how large those pictures are-- im working on getting them below 120kb

thats pertty awesome :) ...whats up with having 2 decks for?

:rofl: that is really creative!
A cool slogan might help sales but... I'm not a fan but very impressed with your creativity.

lol wow....

One is a DSP (digital sound processor).

make it a real one :) hook it up to the alarm or sumpthing haha

I thought about that when we were doing this, but we ran into a couple problems.

1. Real grenades are harder to get.

2. We didn't want to test it on either one of our cars

3. Kinda pointless to blow someone up in the car. You'll never get the smell out of the carpets :D

that can't be very nice to hold onto or grab....

just tie a string from that one to each door. make it look like if anyone opens the doors it'll go off :)

lol damn thats creative just like your ghetto exhaust... man your just trying to sell any ideas huh? dude i wish i could give you my old exhaust but im all the way in tx and i still have to buy my new one.... i love the gernade idea good luck on selling it :)

I dunno, I didn't get any offers on the exhaust though :P I bid $50 on a complete stock exhaust on ebay a couple days ago. I went out last night confident no one in there right mind would want to buy stock exhaust, and it sold for $62. LOL oh well-- not like I had the money to pay for it anyway. BTW: check out my thread in 2nd gen for sale forum. Might find something you need/want.'


LOL

Its not bad, a bit tall though. I'm going to rehash the design tomorrow and see if I can get it down an inch or so. That will actually put it about lower than stock...

Otherwise its not a bad feel, the lever is the only part a bit awkward feeling, and it can be easily removed via the pull pin doodad. Better yet, wire up a microswitch to it :D

Grenades are ergonomically correct. Feels like throwing a base ball when you throw them. The notches don't hurt your hand when you use it to shift. But, we can also get the smooth round ones too.

LOL thats good man... just like a stereo shop i know... it has a gernade and a tag attatched to it saying "customer complaints" so pretty much you dont complain lol

For size comparisons, two pictures, one with the pin lever, one without...

I would never get past the guard shack at work. Try to drive across a border. What if you parked in the wrong spot and someone called the bomb squad ?.........Just thinking

It unscews.

nice, but it does clash with the Koala :)

lol... yeah-- I was thinking that last night

hey...that thing is awesome...i want it...lol

hahaha, it looks hilarious... would definetly be great to have in the car but, I wouldn't purchase one myself. Great gift Idea, or practical joke. for 25 bucks it beats most of the shifters at advance auto parts anyways.

Make it so that the car will not run with the pin out!

I can install Ricey LEDs on the side that even blink when the car is on, and I can plaster a nos sticker on it. That should bring it up to advanced auto part specs
