Default Shifter ****



I had a friend make me this Shifter ****. What do you think? I may have him do another one a little different. Take out the center stripe maybe?

Beautiful work/design. I like the center stripe, but it'd be easier to see the shift pattern without it.

That's a good point, He will make me another one, no problem. He'll make me about anything I can deam up. Also going to put the threaded insert up inside a little more so it sits on the shifter a little further down. It's got a great feel to it when I'm driving.
