Default My first appearance only mod

Well, I finally broke down and bought something that will do absolutely nothing to increase the performance of my car.

I got sick of the boring gray interior and bought an MBA A4 shifter ****. It's aluminum finish with an engraved phoenix. Very nice looking shift **** in my opinion.Installation was a breeze. Makes a big difference in the interior.
Only problem is I'll need to get some more aluminum in the interior so it doesn't look so out of place.Maybe some white faced gauges.

I'll post pics later if anyone cares to see them.

I couldn't get the Phoenix to show up well in these pictures. I'll try again after the six-speed console install.

I have one, its anodized red with the firebird engraved. It does get really hot in the summer.....really, really hot. You just have to be quick, haha. At first I wasn't sure if I would like it because it's rather big. But I have baseball gloves for hands , and with the 5.0 Pro shifter, the throw is perfect. Car's in the garage right now and we have like a foot and a half of snow on the ground, but I'll try and get pics tomorrow.
