Need help picking shift **** & tail or no tail I did a search and found the following shift ***** that I like (the **** will be for a standard):
1st--The flameball is cool looking, but how could it be wired so as not to see the wire? Does the shift rod have to be drilled or does the wire just run alonside the rod?
2nd--I've seen the MBA shift **** and like it but it looks kind of big. Although I've read that it is drilled deep so as to shorten the shift even more, which is cool. Also, how does it compare to the G2 ****.
3rd--I've been looking at the G2 shift **** "ball" style. I like this one because it looks smaller than the MBA ****, which would possibly fit me better I think? I have small hands
If it is significantly smaller than the MBA I'll probably opt to get this one (but of course, it has a premium price tag to boot which I don't like 
)
Also, in your opinion what looks better-a shift **** with or without the tail? I can't decide which looks better for the life of me
Thanks for any suggestions,
Nathan

Nathan,
We make both a 2" and a 2.25" ****.
If you have small hands, the 2' **** would be the best.
As for the with or without tail, if you want to cover up the shift stick
and have the **** extend down by the boot, get the tail.
it's really a personal preference.

Thanks Paul,
I didn't know that there is a 2 inch handle. Well, now that I know it can fit my hand, I'm going with your shift ****. Not only that, but in the future I'm going to put in a few other of your billet products so this will match nicely.

I went for a **** with a tail. I have it set up so that the boot is able to go up over the tail. Kinda makes it look like the boot and **** are one. It's mostly preference.

In reference to the Flameball questions:
The wire runs alongside the rod. I tapped into the small light in the ash tray. Works great. To cover up the wire, I just wrapped black electrical tape around the top of the rod. The tape also keeps the wire and light in place. My custom carbon-fiber boot covers up the rest.

Thanks for the replies everyone
I saw Bluebyu's community web shots of his car and his MBA shifter w/tail. I thought that it looked badass. So, I bought a 2" satin WS6 **** with a tail.
