Unhappy Mgw Ltd - Buyer Beware !!

**FYI** Ordered the "chrome" shift knob and eject plug and got items that are not the same as what is shown on the web/order site. What I was sent has a dull , brushed finish that does not go with anything else inside my GT. There is a chrome ring around the top of each item , but that's it for chrome! When I called WGW's non toll free # about this I was told they did change the items, but have not changed the photos or description on the web/order site yet . **FYI**

Sorry to hear about that DICEBLU , Just to let you know we have a extra CHROME one that just says PT on it, that way you could send it back to them. Is it just the plug with black end on it or is it the lighter end one?

Although I've never purchased from them - I've only heard GOOD things about them (on the forums). Did they say they'd take them back? OTHERWISE, if you paid with a credit card you can dispute the purchase because you did not receive what you ordered.

Was that the "T" handle gear shift for the manual? I have been eyeing that for some time now, but I hate the thought of giving up my "15" pool ball shift knob.

There's always something else that you want, right?

How's things going? No, we are having them installed along with the new airbag system, hopefully it will be done next Wed/Thurs.

I've always had good luck ordering from MGW, LTD. Sorry you had that bad experience. I guess no company can always bat 1.000 with customers.

Here's the Hurst T-handle that goes with the Hurst shifter in my PT...
