I've got a B&M Ripper with the stock ****. I know it's just my opinion, but I think it looks better than a que ball with a skull engraved on it

i have a hurst short throw and i dont like the cover on the silver part under the ball... i want to get rid of the cover and what i really want is like a chrome cover with the lines cut in it to shift that way it looks allot more chromed out and would improve the look of the interior bein the center point of the car

Mine is not the version that lights up. The owner told me he would make a (usa) version that lights if I wanted it, but I didn't want to mess with the wiring either. If you get the lighted version the wire comes up through the shift boot into the ****. The feel is so much better than stock. I sold the vette today. I did turn a nice profit though.
