Got mine from Mid America about 5 years ago. I just checked, they still sell them. When I was a kid one of the cool guys had a white gear shift ****. I always thought that looked pretty good. So I bought a cue ball, drilled and tapped it and it's been in place ever since. I found a white cue ball that when the lights where turned off and it was dark . . . it glowed in the dark. I thought that looked pretty cool.

That's a pretty cool audio set up. Is that an equalizer molded into the bottom section of the DD console?

That's my Bel RX75 Pro Radar detector at the bottom of the console.

So how exactly does this work since you've got to press the center button down on the stock A4 shifter? Do you press the whole shifter down or something like this?

Yes, you simply press down on the ****, instead.
