Those flameballs look pretty trick, very cool.

Personally, I prefer the simplicity of the Hardbar Delrin *****. Liked it so much in my C5, I got one for my Camaro, too.

The Flameballs look really , but I really like the simplistic look of the WCC 8-ball shift **** I got. Plus, it's VERY comfortable, and doesn't get burning hot when the top is left down in the sun.

Flameball and Momo are popular choices. Some of the Momo are contoured to fit the palm of you hand nicely.

Good idea. That way you become proficient in taking off the darn troublesome shifter that presents some problems for some folks

I got the flameball and the solid design of it eliminated the rattle noise coming from the Hurst shifter. I love it, matches the torch red color too!

Na, not yet. I tried all your suggestions and the only thing I could get was a solid light. I'm having EATRICE (randy) re-do my XM Commander install and I'll ask him to wire it for me. He's a lot better with electronics then I am. Don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I'm sure randy will tell me.

Dr. Pimpride...thanks for the heads up on the flame *****. I just ordered the black with blue flames for my Z. Can't wait to get a new shifter (looking at Hurst or BPP) and installing it! Thanks again!!
