Yes, flat black.

Normally I don't like to comment on a person's choice of colors but LTT I think you will be happier if you get the calipers done in semi-gloss or gloss black.  I think you will find them a bit easier to keep clean and just look better.

It would be cool with black to match the body.

If I gloss it, won't it clash against my matte wheels?

I don't think so, I think it might set each other off nicely...

I wouldn't mind a T handle in the Flex....
Without doing any looking is there one with a button on it? I'd love to have a button so that I could do a low boost mode in first gear.

I don't think there is one with a button to change modes.  The only button on the T-handle is the reverse lock out button.

Just wanted to close this thread out and explain something.

I don't recommend trying this unless you can remove the assembly and/or very--and I mean, VERY SKILLED. The drilled holes have to be precise otherwise you have issues with the lockout. A hot rod shop, and even I, attempted to make this work and failed miserably.

I am going to purchase the Shifting Assembly (it's the entire unit that sits in your center console) from a 2012 Ford Taurus SHO for $160 from Fred Beans Parts. I will report back in few weeks on whether or not it was successful. I believe it is a direct swap without any issues as this box really does nothing but move the shifting linkage on the transmission.

You can see the two attempts at finding the right place for the handle to sit--we failed.
