STI-style shifter trim?

Anyone know where I can buy an STI-style shifter trim that's totally blank?

I spoke with Autospeed Performance (they make the WRX and Impreza trim) but they wont make one without their logo. I want totally blank. Anyone know a machine shop or other source that could help me out?

I dont know of any machine shop but there is another alternative. Buy the replica (or the cheapest one you can find) and just fill in the logo and repaint it. Its not that hard. If you're local, i'll help you do it.

I am assuming he is talkin about the same color paint as whats on there right now. The only thing different about it would be that it would have no 'STi' Logo

Well if its just flat all around and not bevelled then you can just turn it over and put the logo face down. laters Mikal
