Looks really good. I ended up with a white one from Steeda and it's superior to the cheap plastic/rubber factory shift ****. Did you get yours from American Muscle?

Looks good but I think you need to pick up the boot adapter. Got mine from GrabberPony and it fill the space between the ball and the boot nicely.

http://www.grabberpony.com/index.php...d&productId=37 is the link to the product. Thought it was only around $20 but looks like it is just under $30. Really does make it look a lot nice. I went with polished.

The shift **** from Speed Dawg is very nice! They have a bunch of options for colors and stripes. I like the fact that the numbers are larger, a nice font, and not engraved (dirt magnets). I think they have the adapters too but, I believe they just have matte black ones and I preferred the grabber pony polished billet offerings. If you have any questions, just e-mail them both and they are great guys and happy to help you with any choices. The adapters fit the stock (and most) aftermarket shifters. The Ball does have a couple inserts which will make it fit on the stock or any other aftermarket shifters that have different threads. The one in the ball is over-sized to accommodate the inserts. Feel free to PM me.

Just noticed this, but is that carbon fiber on the dash board? It looks really cool. I'd like to do that to mine too.

Looking at the seats in the picture, it appears to be a Cali special. Dash and seat inserts look like carbon fiber.



Just looked at profile and confirmed
