If the car is modified/customized, go with the white. If it's pretty much stock, go with the black. I prefer a stock look since these cars were very cool straight off the assembly line. My $0.02

I put it in the garage and never really did much with it last year, thought I would get it out this year and have some fun with it. The only thing that needed changing was the shift console due to the normal wear and tear of the rubberized finish. while I had it out I put in a new shifter as the old one felt loose. Now it's ready for the local show series, should be fun. This car is literally spotless.

The red boot does not go with the black interior.
I have a large white Hurst **** in my own C4, so I am biased....but, like suicidejockey, I think white gives a nice old skool touch.
And it feels so much better than the stock ****. But white doesn't go with the red boot....

I think I'll stay old skool on this one for a while. The problem with using this shift **** with the longer factory shifter is that it exposes a large amount of thread. For that reason I had to make something to cover it yet still allow the reverse ring to work. I fashioned some tubing to the right size and bonded it to the lock nut, worked out OK.
FYI, I know the red boot doesn't match, but when you look at it against the torch red paint, it draws attention to the interior and ties in the red paint. Actually looks pretty good.
