Yeah I kinda figured he had them do it but I wasn't sure. I got my **** from Thompson but I didn't remember seeing anything about custom etching, but maybe my memory just isn't as good as it used to be...no wait, it never was haha.

(I would mention that Joe may have one or two of the old Voodoo titanium ***** left. There are no others and no plans to make any more... I gave Rich Goodfella one as a present and then found out they were worth about $150 on ebay. Oh, well.. )

He made up several ***** for me with custom laser etching, including the one above in red with the old school logo. May I ask where you got the horn button? I hadn't seen that one, or did it come with the wheel?

Do you think Joe would do a used **** or will he only do new ones? Although mine is kinda worn already, the finish is kinda smooth on top now so maybe I'll just get a new one with the emblem. Mine is a Voodoo that I got from Thompson, and I kinda like the idea of just a ball rather than having the extra piece coming down to the boot too.

Well, Rich is a good guy, so if you're giving anyone a gift, at least you gave it to the right person. That's still funny though, haha.

I got the horn button on Ebay actually, and they were only asking about a dollar or so haha. I paid around $5 or $10 for it anyway cause I figured it would be worth that much. It's not QUITE as nice as I'd like, but it's not bad. I would rather if it was just the symbol but it also says Mazda under it. I'll see if I can find a link to one of the auctions. Thanks for the info btw!

EDIT:
Yep, here it is...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MAZDA...spagenameZWDVW

I think that's the same place I got it from. It looks exactly like mine, but they're charging more now. Still not alot, but don't let the ad fool you, it's not as nice or rare as they're saying, it looks to be homemade haha. I might end up trying to make my own to go under there, something with just the symbol.

I looked at the ebay listing and thank you. That's not the one for me. Spent a minute and found a few interesting pieces... If the guys a Classico Wheels don't get me the Ultimate Nardi aluminum blank to play with and its been months, I am going to put one of these on.

Gordon
Ok thanks! I'll get ahold of Joe and work something out. I'll have to wait til payday though cause I'm kinda short on funds right now haha.

Yeah like I said it's not really that nice, it's kinda blah actually. That's why I want to come up with something of my own that looks a little more classy. But that MS one you posted looks pretty good too. That button with the MS logo on the **** would be pretty slick. My problem is I don't have any MS parts on my car and I'd personally feel like somewhat of a poser...but when has that stopped me before? LOL

I finally got some shift ***** made last year and got one that I've been wanting for several years. I kept the rotor in the bottom middle and the blue and red Mazda emblems on the far right. The rotor one is in the car right now. I sold the other three to local guys.

Ugh, to hell with photobucket then. Pics attached.
