I actually had a local Signarama do it. They wrap cars fairly frequently it appears but a little extra time was needed to experiment with the compound curves of the Goblin hood. I had the design printed on a metallic vinyl which they weren't quite as familiar with as well. They ended up cutting the vinyl into 2 sections but it is tough to spot. Take a look at the attached picture. The top and sides are all one piece but the nose is separate. They were confident that had the standard gloss vinyl been used, it would have laid down as one piece. All in, it was $560. $320 to design, print, and wrap. $240 for the special order metallic vinyl. I really wanted the metallic, lol. However, considering I could have walked out of there for $320, it may show that some places are charging exorbitantly based on the numbers I have read around here.

Ross, holy cow that's a lot of custom work! Amazing and I'm sure it is a vast improvement over the plastic shifter.

For the forward/backward movement, I ordered one of the ball sockets linked below. It is a 10mm ball on the shifter and 6x1.0 on the shift cable. It measured about 2” from the ball to the end of the shift cable with everything neutral, so I got the 2.24” long ball socket.

I am still looking for a side-to-side adapter. Instead of the ball, mine just has a small rod that measured 0.24” in diameter and ~0.40” long.

OK now that I have these electrical issues out of the way, let's rewind and catch up to speed. From the beginning I knew I didn't want to reuse the stock seats, and I'm too much of a masochist to purchase the DF Corbeau seat brackets to make life easy. What that meant is that I effectively had...

For the side-to-side, I ordered the following.

I will report back on the success of this endeavor once I have the parts!
Edit: I had to get an E-clip from the local hardware store to retain the rod end on the shifter rod. I think it was 3/32"??? Also, I completely forgot about the left versus right threads on the rods. A piece of metric 6x1.0 all thread was needed to replace the stock rods as well.
