Default Which Shift **** Cap...

I am by no means a master customizer. I typically mess things up before I have an expert do it, but I decided to customize the shift **** caps I had. I have 2.

Which one looks better:

#1







Or #2

Just an observation, but why can't folks take pics & post them so they are in correct orientation (happens alot on here)? Now back to the show, I prefer the thinner black lined **** & very good job on both!

You don't have a gyro chair? Makes all these pics work
they all look good, but the thinner black lined I think looks the best

Well, honestly, from my pov, they are all in the correct orientation. Mine must display differently than yours because all six pictures are displayed in the orientation you would see it with 1,3,5,7 at top and 2,4,6,R at the bottom. Do you see something different?

First pictures with the thinner lines looks way better.

As long as you can do whatever you want, you should print the shift pattern backwards, to confuse car thieves.

Nice job! I personally like number one(the one with the thinner lines). Does this piece just snap on and off like a piece of trim?

You have to get a thin pry tool underneath it and push fairly hard to pop it off. It takes quite a bit of power to pop it off, almost feels like its going to break. But it comes off fairly easily once you figure out how it is done. I'd suggest one getting the bottom end up slightly, do the top and it should come straight off.
