Default new(er) shift ****

Some of you may remember I had a Seahawks billiard ball crafted into a shift **** awhile back.
I also had a Raiders **** made for a friend.
Well, after months and months of searching i finally found the discontinued model, with the old Seahawks logo on it.
It also is marbled silver instead of white, much like the Raiders ball.
I just got it back from Bruce at koolknobs.com today.
I realize this isn't for everyone but thought I'd share it with you all anyhow.
The flash doesn't do it justice though, as it really is a cool looking silver marble.
I am including a pic of the first one for comparison.

I couldn't imagine loving football enough to do that, but cool I guess.

You'd be amazed at the choice of billiard ***** out there.
From sports to military insignias to pinup girls, the choices are almost endless.

I like the concept, but that thing is HUGE! Sorry man, not for me, but hey, individuality is what makes mustangs cooler than any other car. Good job.

I've heard people comment on their opinion that billiard ***** are too large, and I have to disagree.
It fits in the hand nicely, when I'm actually grabbing the whole ****.
usually I'm just pushing or pulling the ****, or the stick itself, where the size of the ball comes into play even less.
Billiard ***** as shift ***** aren't a new idea.
Next time you're playing pool, grab a ball and check it out.
Just try not to look silly making the shifting motions.

I like the shifter--very cool! But w/ that it might get really hot in the summer and freeze your hand in the winter. I just got some really sweet accessories from MGW two days ago.... I got the gripper shift ****-which is a little bigger than what i'm used to, e-brake handle, cup holder bezel, and coin holder. Check out the picture!

No problems with temperature.
I've had one of these on for almost two years.
Good choice on the gripper ****.
That was the first aftermarket **** I chose and I liked it a lot.
It felt really good in the hand.
If not for the billiard ***** I would probably still be using it.
And MGW makes the best interior billet stuff, hands down.
