Would love to find something as classy looking that wasn't a t handle.

Yeah it looks classy, but in a car with a cheap *** interior, not such a good match

Nothing says the rest of the interior is remaining stock...

Sorry it took awhile but I got some pics for you! I also took a couple with the old shifter for size reference.

No, you cannot see what gear you are in because there are no holes in the overlay. Mark says he never noticed that though, so it was not intentional and he told me that they could add the holes. Mine is really dim though and I am in the process of trying to get it worked out (mind you it's just mine) nobody else seems to be having any problems lighting wise. I would recommend getting one, looks great and Mark has been very helpful and seems genuinely concerned in fixing mine.

but yeah if I was your size it would probably be more appealing.. anyway post pics once you get one installed
You are actually like an inch taller than me lol and I do not think its too bulky. It must be the angle of that first picture or something lol but thats why I took the size reference pics. It's only slightly thicker on the part that goes down the stick. Everywhere else though it's about the same or slightly smaller.

Thank you for the pics! They have helped a lot, and the side by side comparison with the factory shifter was a nice add.

Well, I just ordered one off of EBay. Going to either chrome the middle piece, or paint it GLOSS black. Can't wait! Thanks for the idea guys.

I got it in the mail today!!! HOLY ****. I love the way this thing feels in my hand. Now I just can't decide if I should go Chrome on the center silver or Gloss Black. Oh well, car is down for a while anyway. All I can do is hold it and kinda dream!
Guys, this thing feels amazing in your hand. I STRONGLY recommend this shifter!

You guys need to post pics after install! and if either of you can figure out how to rewire the TCS to the button on the shifter and tell me how, I'd appreciate it

Just added the Trailblazer shift **** to my TA and put the 3M faux CF over the brushed metal. It seems like it sits a little higher than the stock ****, but it feels great.

I just got back home after being out of state and installed my shift **** yesterday. The leather boot is kind of tight so I need to tweak that a little bit, but everything looks and feels great. I really like it! I'll post some pictures after I get a chance to clean the interior some.

I want to go either chrome or high gloss black rather than the faux CF. How does the 3M work? Is it a stick-on? Let me know how you did it if you get a chance. It looks great with the CF, it just wouldn't match my interior.

Thanks for any help you can give me in this, I need to get rid of the silver. The CF would match better!

OK, now I have to consider the T handle.

OK was bored and stumbled across this pic.



I think this **** will fit our car's, and it's out of a Lacrosse. Not that I would opt for woodgrain, but it may be another option for us A4 guys.

I would like to put something like this in my '98 Camaro. Was this a direct fit replacement or was there some modification involved?
