Default Preferences on auto shift *****

I'm debating between the brushed aluminum vs the chrome shifter

http://www.ecklers.com/product.asp?d...RG357XATPH92RD

What do u have and do u like it? Does the chrome one leave a lot of fingerprints? Just curious before I buy it!

Thanks for the input!

Where did you purchase your alum ****? BTW your vette pic is sweet on your profile! Like the exhaust and black outs on the lights.

Bought it from Corvette America - I think it was $29 and they shipped F A S T!

Thanks for the compliments - I disabled the DRLs so I'm in "Stealth Mode" - until I go WOT

Ultimately, I want it modified to do this :



Here's a couple more pix

Bought this **** in brushed aluminum from Corvette Garage:

Then had a local shop engrave the shift pattern into it. Looks cool, no maintenance! Cold not a factor here really.
