Well I *think* the plexi is the one that gets scratched easier. AND... the 
lexan has a lifetime breakage warantee-- I'm sure its just when you use it 
as a storm window for your front porch, tho! Can you imagine... "well I came 
into the hairpin too tight, the leading wheels bit in, and over she went. 
Smashed the lexxan to bits. I want a replacement."

Cool. Is that all you did for your shifter? I figure- if I'm gonna replace 
that plastic shift ball, I might as well finish the whole shifter assembly 
up...

I'm gonna re-arrange the NEUSPEED letters to spell NEED SPEU or PEN SEED U. 
Yeah right. If I ever get that eastwood Home Powder coating kit, WATCH OUT! 
The bottom of my car will be prettier than the top!
