Default Shift *****?? Show me some pics

I can't decide what I want to do for my shift ****. It's the last piece of the interior I need to order.

Here is what I have so far:



Josh has sent me the Colored Letters for the dash also but I haven't received them yet.

I also received the yellow covers for the steering wheel (over the silver on the radio controls and the other side). I just haven't installed them yet.

Ideas??

Thanks. The camera flash changes it a little, but in natural light, the CF pattern is almost identical to the center console.

The stock one looks good to me, could just be about an inch shorter though.

Shorter WOULD be nice. I have to spend money though so I'm going to buy "something".

Something like this maybe?





Funny, I was looking at some pics you posted just the other day (yellow vettes catch my eye ) and thought that a yellow shifter would round out your interior. Good job by the way!

YOu too! I had the worst time finding yellow pieces for my steering wheel. What year is yours? Is that an 05? I like your steering wheel better. Who needs radio controls on their steering wheel?

Anyway, I found those pieces.

Did you get that yellow shifter plate from Pipedreams?

I'm thinking of doing a combo... yellow leather on one half of the shifter, black on the other half, plus the yellow plate. You think that would look good?

Yeah, it's an '05. And Pipedreams is where I got the shifter ball from. I really liked the yellow and black shift boot, but am on a budget. Plus, I know it's hard to believe looking at my interior , but I didn't want too much yellow!

I like the black boots and I think i'm going to stick with the black **** also. I'll probably just copy you and get the yellow plate.

No yellow in mine, but here it is any way. Ed's custom painted cap and Vette Essentials leather work.
