I just installed this today and I like it. It's too dark already so I will be taking a picture tomorrow instead.

Picture?
I'm curious to see how this turned out.

This looks like an excellent idea. I would even forgo the embarrasment of shopping in a scrapbook store for this!

Does staples carry supplies like this?

what the hell is a shift pattern?
the 1-2-3-4-5-R on the knob?
why the HELL would you want to put that on you car?

| migs76 | 09-10-2003 07:12 PM |
for those of us that have changed the stock knob to say...the momo air race leathers. they have no shift pattern. come inspection time, they call for it. don't know why but they do.
| 2002WRX_5speed | 09-10-2003 07:57 PM |
I did mine mostly for look so if you do not like the idea then do not do it...simple as that. FromMugen2STI--my car, my choice...any more question! Why ask WHY...
I forgot to take a picture today so I'll post one as soon as I get a chance. Yup, it's a 1,2, 3, 5, and R pattern. To tell you the truth, it came out very nice. I put SYMS logo on mine since I have several SYMS parts for my car--plus it's different.

oh ok...i didn't know it had something to do with law
what states require this?

| CirrusWRX | 09-10-2003 11:09 PM |
I didn't know it was a law for inspection either. I know if you get a Subaru from the "factory" with an STi knob, or whatever, they put on the obligatory H-pattern sticker. I thought that was a Subaru legal thing, not a law. Would be interested knowing which states require and which do not. I passed inspection w/o it, but maybe I just had some lenient folk.
| migs76 | 09-10-2003 11:24 PM |
i know of some that have and have not passed inspection here in jersey because of this. guess it does depends on the place. who's to say that joe shmoe at the inspection station knows all the shift patterns on all cars.

When you post the pictures, do you mind attaching the photoshop of the pattern you used? I'm not in the business of reinventing the wheel if I have to. ;)

The SPT emblem is cool. How was that done? The SYMS emblem is awesome as well! I might actually have to suck it up and go to a scrapbooking store. Tell you wife thanks for dragging your ass in there.

One thing, you need to use glossy photo paper and a good color printer but since the lettering are small anyway, a good color printer might not even make a big difference.
The other one is still a working project...the production number is from my VIN and it's also printed out from my color printer. The plate is from any engraving/trophy place--ask them to cut you a plate. Also, if you want to be fancy, you can actually do a sublimation process from the same place you bought the plate from--not sure on how much. I rather do it myself since it is so easy.

If you guys are lazy to do it, maybe I can make it for you. Sacramento people, I can make one and bring it to one of the meet.

how did you get the text on the metal plate?
| adam555 | 10-05-2003 11:41 AM |
Great idea! i think i will try this today. Can you buy these page pebbles in a larger form, say the size of Subaru emblem? I think it would be cool to maybe make a STi one or something thats maybe like 2''x3'' or something like that.
| 2002WRX_5speed | 10-05-2003 06:08 PM |
QAboy - it's a sticker type that you can print using your printer(the process is not perfected yet--once I find a better way, I will post)
adam555 - I can not find a larger pebble (rectangular) yet...if you find one let me know coz I have a great idea for this.
c_hunter - thanks, give it a try and the good thng about it, if you don't like the way it come out, you can do another one easily
If anybody would like to see a specific shifter pattern design, let me know.

2002WRX_5speed,
I love the picture of the Syms shift pattern but I was not able to see the others you had on the Epson web site, the three links said the photo was unavailable. The SPT plaque on the metal plate (later post) looked great was well. Is it possible to see the pics again that were missing on the Epson site? Are they maybe in another thread or could you e-mail them? Sorry to be a pain but this simple mod really intriques me and has spurred some ideas. Thanks!
Mike

volleybrad - how do you make them...curious if there are other method
My decal is holding from hot and cold weather...no fading yet. The MOMO decal fell off from the shift knob so I will be making one for that soon : )

I just make up the design in Photoshop. Print them off on glossy paper with my Epson R800. Cut it out. Stick them to the page pebble, then put the 3m mounting tape on the back of it. Pretty simple.

dang i bought the shifter patterns now i kind of want that little spt plate hah

wheres a good scrap book place in CA? I live in Chico, just north of Sac? These things look great, would it really work well with MSpaint? Thanks for the DIY!
| Handsdown | 02-04-2005 02:16 AM |
i just finished a circle replica of the trust pattern and a square cusco pattern... did my work in illustrator and it's awesome!
i'm hoping to find these bubbles so i can make them tomorrow.

micheal's crafts only had sizes through large, which is pretty darn small.
i plan on visiting office depot in the meantime to try and find some bigger ones.

also if you ever take your car to a fancy valet only restaurant, they won't be able to say "well you didn't have it marked where reverse was, so of course we blew your tranny."
it just makes it easier for anyone who might not be aware of your car.

If you want one, email me. I think my wife have some spare pebbles that she doesn't need anymore. I can make some.
Find a dedicated scrapbook store. They sell the extra large pebble.
Handsdown--nice one...once you print it out and stick the pebble, it will look 2x better
If you are planning of putting the STI shifter trim, make sure you have enough space.

this is so perfect. sometimes i forget that it goes, 1-2 then 3-4. just awesome. have you thought about mounting one of these near the tach, so you don't have to look down when shifting? i might print one up and post a how-to.

| hkswrxwagon | 02-05-2005 10:13 PM |
I think you might be right. Wanna try ;) also make the R red. I really appreciate this. I just went and bought the page pebbles. So I am ready to do it.

OK....so now the question is....does anyone have glow in the dark printer ink?? The WRC shifter comes with a glow in the dark shift pattern. If someone could find some I'd pay for it.
| tooocool49723 | 02-06-2005 07:42 AM |
Why not just wire in a LED under it? except for the drilling, it'd be pretty easy.
| DumbUglyDragon | 02-06-2005 06:55 PM |
Good Idea!
| Worxman02 | 02-07-2005 01:04 AM |
or get some electroluminescent wire or ribbon. it would give a better glow. [url]http://www.coolight.com/[/url] [URL=http://tinyurl.com/3rcya]El sheets[/URL]
| Siper2 | 07-18-2005 08:20 AM |
Saw this via a link in another thread. I know it's old, but it deserves a bump. :)
I'd like to try this, but my printer's old and I haven't any editing software. Might have to find someone that can make one for me!
The silver/red "2.5RS" logo or Kartboy would be preferable, for me. It's definitely time for a new printer -- mine's an HP 722C that came with my '98 Gateway. :lol:
