Here is mine, 97 Comp TA. Not sure what brand of **** that is. It came with the car and gets hot as hell if I dont put my window shades up. I have actually burned my hand before And the dang thing blistered. I will be getting a different **** soon I think.




WoW, my car looks clean in person but dirty as all hell in this photo.

Just noticed the shift **** looks white. It is in fact silver

I like the feel of the stock **** the most, the C6 ***** look horrrible the way they're positioned in an f-body IMO. I think that Cobra **** is the best one so far, other than the stock/SLP ones.

Hey man, dont feel bad! lol I have been wanting to replace or make a new shift boot for the longest time but moneys tight. So tight that I cant afford a new one or materials. But I seen a silver/back one at wal mart that would match my interior and for a split second I considered buying it. At any rate yours looks like it belongs nothing wrong with goin the cheap route as long as it dont look horrible.

I have an 03/04 cobra **** as well and like it a lot. I like the stock Hurst shifter **** but having the pattern on top is a bonus. I was thinking about doing a C6 **** but I just think it looks off in our cars.

Surprised I've only seen one of these in here.



I love my flameball. It's not necessarily for speed applications but looks badass for a show car. The flames glow at night or when the headlights are on.

That might look cool like an eight ball or something.

IMO the best looking ***** for these cars are the factory Hurst leather wrapped ones (or the SLP which are basically the same thing with a different logo on top), or the Cobra ***** for something a little snazzier.

I don't understand how people can like the white "cue ball" Hurst ***** (or the black ones), the MBA *****, Hurst T-handles or pistol grips, etc. etc... they look COMPLETELY out of place in a modern car! JMHO...

Well thats what I would like to get. Not necessarily a stock on. But one of similar shape. I dont mind the ball and its does feel comfortable. But no, they do not flow well with modern cars. Im not saying I dont like them either, and when I see a car with a cue ball shifter I really dont think much about it as long as its tasteful. I would like to pick one up with silver threads to match the shifter and ebrake boots I am going to make.
