HOT DAMN THATS A GOOD LOOKING SHIFTER!
Billet anything always looks fantastic.
I'm just hoping it'll work with a 6 speed g50.

A G50 works in the opposite direction to a regular VW shifter (and therefore 915) so it wouldn't work with a G50. In a VW the mechanism's pivot point is between the rod and the knob, effectively reversing your movement, in the G50 the pivot point is below the rod so the movement is in the same directions.

795 bucks for a shifter ??

I don't know, it sure looks nice, and I am sure it shifts like a dream, but is it just me or is that a whackload of money for a shifter ?
