Alcantara Spirit R Shift **** & Shift Boot exclusively from JKL Racing Engineering!

We are going to make a spirit R replica shift **** with genuine Alcantara material. The OEM genuine Spirit R shift **** is already discontinued and really hard to find. We want to help the rotary community to keep these great products available. The introductory offer price will be around $200 each. It will have the red stitching and black alcantara all around. Alcantara Shift boot will also be available at extra cost. The shift **** will be weighted to match the weight of stock shift ****. Let's see if we get some interest here first.

The Alcantara material is very expensive to start with. We use all 100% genuine Alcantara from an authorized Alcantara supplier. And the stock 99 spec shift **** will definitely cost you more than $200 if you can even find one right now. We have to get these shift ***** custom manufactured by a shift **** manufacturer to begin with and we have to place a HUGE order to get them made.

Due to the high cost in custom manufacturing these shift *****, we need at least 20 people to be able to offer the discount.

If we can get more than 30 deposits, we will start dropping the price. The more people we get, the bigger discount we can give.

The shift **** will look exactly like the spirit R **** but the leather will be replaced by genuine black Alcantara.

We won't be able to provide a picture until we get enough interest so that we can get a prototype produced.

I'd like this without any shift pattern, unless I can get the t56 pattern.

Sure, we can make one without any shift pattern numbers for ya.

BTW, we will have to use stitching for shift pattern prints since it is difficult to press print the numbers on Alcantara material. So we were thinking about using red stitching for the numbers as well. Any other color suggestions? (we will only offer one color and style number print)

There are not enough people showing interest.

The cost of custom manufacturing these shift ***** is very high so we will not start any production until we get 20 deposits otherwise we will risk losing money. If we get 30 deposits, we can drop the price down since with that quantity, the cost of the Alcantara cloths and shift **** base can drop a little.

Thank you in advance for your understanding!

I'm interested in the shift boot, just curious as to how much the approximately the boot will go for?

Also, will you guys be making an alcantara ebrake boot to go along with it?

Yes, if this project does happen in the future. We will release a whole series of Alcantara products. So let's see some more interests first.
