Now that's extremely interesting. I own now a VW Gol (not Golf, Gol, it's a Latin American market-only car,very similar to a Polo), and your design would really make the empeg look totally OEM. Is it available or there's just one unit?

Ooh, that black one WOULD look good in my Volvo V70? Do you have any close-ups of the texture of the material? It's brushed aluminum that's colored black, right?

Hm, do I REALLY need a new facia after only having the unit for a month? Hm......

Oh, are there different colored lenses for it? Deep green would make my day (and make me buy one).

Cool! I am interested in most of the designs, but I see myself using the black for the stealth install. The regular aluminum knob is very visible, and a black knob would really work well.

Wow. If you can get the ano knob and an old MkI style handle going... it'll be hard to stop me from buying one. That looks great. What's the word on handles?

Man, that looks great.. might be time to take the finish off of the handle though, I think that would complete the install...

That's what I did. I stripped the handle and polished it.

That looks sooooo wicked! Nice job... I've got a brushed face on order from Tim, but he's customizing it for me to work with an Alpine knob, so that it will match my stereo... Can you post how you stripped your handle, so that we can follow your lead, and learn from your example?

I used a Dremel rotary tool and a sanding bit to get the original coating off of the handle.
To smooth the surface I sanded the handle with fine sanding paper first and to match the shiny finish of my NewFace used a rubbing compound in the last step.

Greetings!

Has any more progress been made on the anodized knob? I am looking to order, but wanted to wait until that option was available. Thanks!
