Default Reverse manual shifter inlay for stock shifter

I made this a few months back during my TH400 swap and finally got around to getting a pic of it. The letters and gear indicator even light up at night. Just thought I'd share

Hey, you still here? I think there are quite a few people wanting to know how you did that, or do you plan on selling them? Like I said I am in the middle of my installation and I sure would like to keep nice looking like yours.

How were you able to use your stock shifter? I thought you had to get an aftermarket shifter?

You can keep the stock shifter. I've seen them on th350 and 400 cars.

Sorry I haven't checked this section much since I first made the post.

I've tossed around the Idea of selling these if there's enough people that are interested in them. I have a few other designs that I've came up with. I can basically put any design in the bottom section (where I have the flaming skull)..Chevy/pontiac emblem, Z28, SS, WS6, Camaro, Pheonix..etc.

Thumbs up

I would be interested in buying one as long as it is reasonable! red Z28 logo

By the way to Black8 I am running my TH 400 with the stock shifter right now but am installing a Hurst ratchet shifter.

Depending on the cost, I would be interested in one with the SS emblem on it.

Anyone else know how to do this? I would like to button up my car. Is this vinyl lettering? I can have vinly lettering done on my stencil machine and use this.

The ones I have done. I just had my vinyl guy make me a decal that just goes over the stock lens piece.
