Thanks for the input, Sean. If I sell these it'll be as they come out of the mold (ie: uncut) ...it will be up to the buyer to cut & fit either an Automatic or Manual shift, gauge holes, etc. I'll include installation tips, etc. I won't be able to incorporate the heater outlet piece as the mold is already made. I've got a couple of guys getting back to me with quotes on building them. I'll keep ya posted. Cheers!
