Looks cool, but thing looks like it will be a million degrees in the summer and frozen in the winter.

I have to have an ipod sock over my stock metal shift **** on the Honda cuz the thing will just about brand my palm during the summer.

He should be okay as long as he doesn't put his tongue on it during the winter.

Yes, I have it and shame on me for not getting it back to you. I have it, your plaque, and your CD packaged up but I have been distracted and not sent them back to you.

Everything else is fine. The **** is the only change I have made (except for new rear tires) and we are just enjoying Stuzvette.

I do have several questions which I will send your way privately. I will get off my duff and send you the stuff this week.
