Default New Pistol Grip!

So, I got my pistol grip shifter from Butch Kissik today via UPS. Let me say, it looks sweet! It has the old school look, but the carbon fiber grips to match the interior! I couldn't be more happy with the look. Installation was cake! The construction is great; it's a total of 3 pieces. The billet alluminum handle is shaped perfectly to fit your fingertips and the 2 carbon fiber grips slide in perfectly. The design is simple; the 2 grips attach to the billet handle via three screws that basically pull the handles towards each other against the handle. The handle attaches to the shifter post via two small allen set screws. I drove with it today and it feels perfect.
Looks great and feels awesome!

Cool jono... hope it was easier to install than it was to post up some pics...

Thanks for sharing your pics, I was wanting to see some nice clear shots of that pistol grip.

Any chance anyone has found a pistol grip like the concept?

mopar2ya....tell me about it. if putting on the shifter was as difficult as getting stuff to post on here, i would have sent the thing back!
from upwrapping the box to tightening up the last screw, it took a total of about 20 minutes. that included a call to butch because i was scared to torque on the old shifter compression fitting to get it off. it was actually quite simple after speaking with him: just use a flat head screw driver and push between the leather knob and the silver compression fitting. after a few small pries, the compression fitting slipped right off.
my only suggestion for the entire product is that the top of the billet alluminum should be etched with Challenger or SRT8 instead of the shift pattern. the shift pattern is already on the console, so i think something else would look better.

I am going to get one for my car but have not got around to ordering it yet. Did you get it fairly quickly after ordering?

Called several times, no answer!![:@]

I called last Thursday and it showed up on Tuesday via UPS. I don't think he has many guys answering the phones, but just be persistent. It is well worth a few phone calls.
