Unofficial lists based off of what's in the thread:
Paid:
Spandy
viviorunitia88
Cccid
rxcited2
d33
Juiceh - special order
7racer
Unpaid:
4) 3GRX7 - Illuminated 5spd Black Leather
7)Gohan3rdrift-Illuminated 5 spd Black Leather
8) 7_rocket- Illuminated 5 spd Black Leather (DROPPED OUT)
9) FuStEr- Illuminated 5 spd Black Leather
12) neit_jnf - Illuminated 5spd Black/Red (they're all leather!!)
13) Archie's8 - Illuminated 5spd Black Leather
14) viper_u27 - Illuminated 5 spd black leather
neit_inf kinda got the shaft with this:
So I can understand if he wants to bow out. Everyone else, what are your excuses?
Sadly, this sorta stuff is why some GB's start off with deposits just to be added to the list. Lets not make Ramy have to do that.

I actually think I may be able to take different colors...just haven't posted it because I can't confirm it YET.
You're telling me? Right now I look like a TOTAL FLAKE in front of Knightsports for asking about 10 headlights...and I got how many?? ZERO. It's frustrating, b/c ppl don't understand that there's nothing suppliers hate more than flakes. NOTHING. So when ppl say they're serious about something, and I ask all these questions, negotiate (and sometimes FIGHT) for a good price, then ppl flake for me, guess what? With no cash goin in their direction, that supplier will make sure not to waste his time on me again in the future. There are repercussions to EVERYTHING.
So yea, I've seriously considered the whole deposit-up-front deal, but I'd much rather keep things nice and friendly, ya know?

^honestly.... A couple of us may just have to order spares just to get this moving. If someone wants to buy my spare if I get one they aren't going to be paying the GB price....
That's 9. I bet we can get one more atleast by the end of the weekend. I think we are set.
If not, we all pitch in 22 bucks to get the 10th one, then we sell it in the for sale section at a quick sale price and try and recoup a couple bucks.
Atleast very few of us will actually have this item. Should make my car with about 2k more.

Please watch your language ;)
Count me in for an illuminated 5 speed black.
I hope a Miata short shifter has the same thread pitch.
Payment sent. You all owe me.

^Miata shifter has the same thread pitch as S5 FC & S6 FD(dunno about s7 & s8 but I assume it is the same as well) & Rx8 so it is a direct fit for you.
Thanks!

Unfortunately, you can't get a price without a number of confirmed buyers and you can't get confirmed buyers without a price... Or at least I can't afford to put a deposit down on something that has an unknown price.
Catch-22
It sucks. Thanks for dealing with crap like this. I know not too many people have the patience to do so.

I was looking into it back when the prices were unknown...

I was lurking in this thread prior to that post about the final pricing...
All the while I was thinking, "Will it fit? Do I really want it? How much would I really be willing to pay for a purely aesthetic mod?"
If deposits were requested then, I probably wouldn't have put one down as I'd be out my deposit if the price was above what I was willing to pay...
Honestly, it is slightly more than what I was looking to pay. But Ramy is a good guy, I've met him in person. I trust him and since this is probably a modification that most people are unlikely to have I'm willing to pay more even though it's just a shift ****.
