Default Show me some *****

So while I was driving to work yesterday, I get stopped at a stoplight so I start looking around. I started looking around the interior of my car and my eyes rested on my shifter ****. I noticed that the plastic/leather/whatever the sides on the stock manual shifters are made out of is cracked so the edges is continuously losing adhesion and is easy to pull back. I don't know if this is just due to the fact that the car hasn't been garage kept in several years or use, but the fact of the matter is, I need a new one.

I've looked around and it seems that a takeoff manual shift **** will set me back about 30 bucks. I thought, heck, if I'm out 30 bucks, what's another 20? I've been looking at aftermarket shift ***** and they seem to be averaging around 50 bucks.

What kind of shift ***** do you like/suggest? If it helps at all, I've got the IUP. I'm open to anything except cheesy ***** that show which gear your currently in with LED lights...

Pictures/links would be much appreciated!

haha Yep, that's the general thought process I was looking to achieve. Thought it'd be a good attention grabber haha.

Thanks Tanner, that's actually a pretty cool custom site!

Anyone seen those ***** they made for Termies a while back?
It said "f#cking fast" instead of 6 on the grid pattern...
I thought it was hilarious and I'd like to find one for my old Cougar since I'll upgrade it to 6spd.

I went with the Bullitt shift **** just because I simply love it! It was ridiculously priced at $140 but I just had to have it. Your stock shifter boot won't fit it though so I was going to get the Bullitt boot/bezel but decided on going with something a little more personal and ordered a boot from Redlinegoods.com. I got it made with Black leather (REAL leather), and dark blue stitching to match my car. It's in the mail now and I can't wait to put it in my car. I did have to specify that I needed it for the Bullitt **** so it had to be made smaller and they were happy to do that for me. I just pray that its going to work when I get it.

TWM M1 Abrams:



Solid machined stainless. High mass which kills any rattle from the Hurst linkage, and nice feel.
