Stainless Steel Shift *****
Just wondering if anyone has used these stainless shift ***** for the C-6
http://www.southerncarparts.com/corv...ob-p-3154.html
I wanted to drop the height of the shift **** about 1 & 1/2 inches or so, but it doesn't look like from the pic that it drops it much at all. The C-5 pics look a lot lower, but not the C-6 pics.
Also, has anyone who has installed the heavy stainless **** had problems with the extra weight? It seems like it might feel nice underhand to have a little extra mass, but I'd like to find out from someone who has used one before I purchase one. (Got a little birthday money to spend
)
Does anyone have another suggestion on a lowered stainless shifter ****? I'd love to hear what you think. I have searched for this info on this forum but haven't read much specific to my question, so that's why I ask.
Thanks,
TomZ

It seems like it would be very cold in the winters you get in Jersey. I use mine as a hand rest when going light to light in city driving. I can imagine it taking quite some time to warm up to the touch.

no, I looked at some others that are a composite material (probably cheap junk reclaimed plastic, but who's counting?) that say they lower the height 1". sounds impressive. I'll see if I can find it.
aluminum or stainless wouldn't be my first choice for both heat and cold, but if it's your thing, have at it.
oh, sorry, it was this one, same place. quite a bit different: http://www.southerncarparts.com/corv...bs-p-3244.html
