I'm sure a lot of us would buy a snap in block off cover to fill the ugly hole where the shifter would have been. Anyone with a 3D printer want to give it a go 🙂

That is a great idea.  I have toyed with the idea of making a cover plate out of Carbon fiber that could be installed there.  I have plenty of carbon, but don't have a car handy to make a mold off of.

I filled the hole with a ‘glass patch on one of my seats. I’d love a simpler solution than that.

The challenge is that my SR3 doesn‘t have paddleshift.

Don't you mean "racer tape" ? 🤣 😎 

Seriously though, one thing to consider: it's real easy to put your weight right there when climbing in and out of the car. I wonder if an aluminum piece that overlaps the hole might be a better choice?

John, if you are able to make a sample part out of aluminum and send it to me I will use it as a mold and make some carbon parts.

I like that. I've got a seat sitting on a shelf that I can use to make one.
