I'm loving both mods. When either my shift knob wears out or I find the cash for the stereo upgrade, I'm going for it. I don't have bluetooth right now nor do I have iPod integration and it's a pain in the butt.

I agree, the becker is on it's last legs in mine. I need to put aside the money for a decent double din conversion.

I really like the shifter
It looks great on the pics
How does it look and feel in real life?
Is the leather nice?

Yeah the leather is good. I was actually very surprised by the quality of it. It's a bit heavier than the standard shift but not enough to really care. I love the feel of it, more than the OEM shift knob. Couldn't be happier.
The only hitch I ran into is that I had to saw in half the little headless screws that clamp onto the shift post. They were too long and after I tightened the knob down they were protruding too far out and I couldn't slip the boot over them. A bit of a PITA but overcome.

Just remember to tell the police that you where distracted by beautiful woman when he pulls you over. And, be sure he doesn't see the movie playing on your radio.
FYI. we had a young lady making a phone call and ran through a light on a major road going to a local University. She hit and killed 2 young children while their parents where pushing them in their stroller. What hell that must have been for them. And, the young lady said she wasn't on her phone...but an I witness said other. The police checked her cell record at the time of impact...she was on the phone. Her dad was some big shoot lawyer from the state capital. :ah:

Love the shifter, that really looks great!
Thanks for the link to the supplier too, I'm thinking about what excuse I could tell the wife so I can buy one too...
