How Hot Do Aluminum Shift ***** Get

There seem to be a zillion shift ***** made of Aluminum, but some people say Aluminum gets too hot in the summer.

I've got tinted windows, and am looking at a black aluminum **** from momo. Think it will get too hot in the summer in VA?

Thanks,

it does have a thin rubber coating, but being black and aluminum, is it going to get real warm?

I think mine is aluminum under the leather, and it's not an issue. I think that one will be fine.
