Default Post Pictures of Your FLAMEBALL shift *****

Hey Guys... Post some pics of your flameball shift *****.... I was looking at getting the 3-Flame Amber - Black one for my car.... I have the orange glow interior, so I figure that would look the best.. What do you think??

The Orange one looks kinda reddish... Anyone have experiance with them???

Having a 3 color, my advice is get a 5 color. :yesnod: Gives off more light. I'll see if I can't get a good picture of mine for you. :cheers:

Yeah, I was thinking about getting one of these until I saw the zip ties. I was wondering how you would hide the wire. No thanks for me... :nonod:

I take it that's the 5 color? That's the one I've been eyeing. I won't be able to hook up the light till I get my B&M shifter in on my next clutch change. Dang reverse lockout would be in the way.

Look again, the zip ties are holding the line loc button in place, and the wire you see is for the line loc. If you don't have a line loc, you won't see the wires, nor will you need zip ties.

Dave, yes that is the 5 color in Mojo's car. I also have been looking at them and I believe (someone correct me of I'm wrong) you can still use the reverse lockout with the flameball.

I know you can still use the reverse lockout, it's wiring the light around it that's the problem.

YES< I got a 3 color: Black, Amber and White matches my Interior perfectly and I love the feel. :smash: :smash:

You can't even see my wire under the leather shift cover, I used the zip tie and a drop of super glue on the zip tie to hold it perfectly in place. Its never moved.

Now the part you will all laugh at me for, I was at Macys and they had a Fossil watch that had a moving flame face on it. Matches my flameball perfectly, and yes I got it. :lol: :lol:

Mine is the same as Mr Mojos You don't see any tire wraps or even the wire because it comes straight out of the bottom. I have some pictures of it lit up at night but I can't seem to find them right now. I will keep looking for them.

Do they sell these that you DONT have to wire up for lights?? I'd like one that you could just replace your current shifter ****, but that's it...

Those all look great!!

You can get a non lighting one, but the lighted up ones can be used as on lit ones, just don't put the bulb in, in my pic, the wire for the light isn't even there, it's tucked under the console.

For any of the lighted FlameBall Shift ***** you have to put the bulb in yourself. :smash: SO you can use any of the Shift ***** that they sell as non lighted. I just put the bulb in and ran the wire to my center glove box, where the keyed and non keyed power supply is that General Motors left for the us owners to use for such items :lol:

That's awesome. I really want to get one of those, but I'm wondering what the automatic Flameballs look like.
