Not bad...I wanna see it after it's cleaned up....I was looking at mine the other day....All scuffed up after 90k of shifting and was trying to think of some options to dress it up. Mine needs a polish first FOR SURE. What did you use for paint? I use a lot of model car paint on medical parts I refinish....I figure if it holds up through an autoclave it should hold up in an interior....i just clean the excess with a Q-Tip and alcohol.

I used model car paint and small paint brush.
First I cleaned the letter up with a Q-tip and alcohol (just like you said).
Put some paint down, let it dry and wipe it down with a paper towel to remove all the extra paint.
Took about 30 min.

Luke from Lindsey cadillac, hes on the other board.

And as for spending the money meh, to me it was worth it, I like my suede V2 **** much more than the stocker. In comparison the stock one just feels cheap

Yep! That's where I got mine from...Definately call Luke. I paid around $120.00 delivered. Expensive but worth it...quality is top notch. Even the diagram on top of the shifter feels like a braided metal. Good stuff.
