C5R style shifter handle
I'm thinking about changing out my stock shifter **** to the C5R style. Wondering if anybody has done this, and how do you like it?

If you are talking about the **** that looks like this....
I have one, and did not like it because it limited the positions I could hold the **** to shift. I switched to the classic white Hurst round ****, and that is probably what I will stay with.

I think they are nice, but the way the shifter Is In my opinion It makes It look longer than It Is. I currently have a Hurst Short Throw with a Z06 Decaled round 8ball style ****. I think that looks great and It fits my hand perfectly. Thats a good style and all, just not for me though
