Just thought I'd share for anyone looking into any of these products. I love this combo. It really sets off the center console and looks 10 times better than stock.

It's a little blurry because I didnt' use a flash. The flash is way too bright in close quarters like that.

 

Looks very good

 

Just thought if your taking pictures close to an object. Put a paper towel or a Kleenex or such in front of the flash to defuse it (it spreads the light over a larger area therefore making the flash weaker). Another tip, make your flash into a bounce flash (put a piece of white cardboard in front of the flash) so when it fire's it directs it at the roof of the car, therefore casting the light around the interior.

You probably already checked, but see if your camera has flash compensation (allows you to make the flash fire weaker then normal). If your camera doesn't have flash compensation, you can play around with the exposure compensation.

Oh and btw the the shift *** looks sweet, I've been trying to decide if i want to order it!

 

Thank you for the tip. I should read through the instructions and see if it has that feature, it would be so helpful. I know one thing.....I am a horrible photographer.

The shift **** is very high quality and feels great. My hands tend to sweat, so I wanted something grippy.

 

Looks great.

How doe sthe B&M feel compared to stock? I've got the Gripper **** already, but have been thinking about changing the mechanicals and getting a new boot. Does Redline offer different thread colors?

 

The B&M is very short and accurate. Locks right in every time. Although, I have this metal against metal rubbing noise coming from possibly two different locations (different thread).

Yes, Redline offers about 20 different thread colors.

 

I like that ****, been eyeballing it for a while. I purchased the redline stuff a while back, I like it a lot

 

The **** is great. I've had it for months now, and I can't imagine going back to stock. It looks better, feels better and is amazing quality. I've got the Hurst shifter underneath, which I've still got to get used to, but I hadn't thought of a red-stitched boot. That looks nice!

 

I went with a red stitched boot from Redline as well. Great workmanship

I'm currently running a 2 1/4" MRT shift ****, but I have to say the MGW has caught my eye too (The MRT is pretty, but I bet the MGW functionally provides a firmer grip)

 

The B&M Shifter is great!

 

How much was the boot? I checked the website, I think it's $40, but I just wanted to be SURE

 

Yeah, $40 is correct. Redline does offer occasional discount codes though (I don't think there's a current one though)

 

Hey, does that shifter **** make the shifter much taller than stock? I know from Maverick's thread about the B&M Shifter install, I think he stated the gear shift arm is 1 inch taller. How much more does the new shift **** make it. I hate shifters that are too tall, but really like that ****, and really want to add the B&M when my car arrives. If anyone can answer this for me, I would appreicate it. Thanks

 

It will make it roughly another 1/2" taller with the MGW shift ****. It did seem high to me at first with the B&M, but I got used to it quickly.

 

I'm going to have to disagree with you on that. I have had nothing but issues with the B&M shifter. I liked it at first, but it quickly started to deteriorate.

-It transfers too much engine noise to the cabin

-It squeeks when the studs hit the shifter base plate

grrr..

 

TOTALLY AGREE! The B&M is crap. Total noise maker.

 

what kind of noise were you experienceing. i have no cabin noise and no vibration but im getting a knocking noise at around 2500 rpms and up. sounds like from the engine but i didnt change anything up there recently
