Default Opinions on this shift ****.. and a question..

Found this shift **** online.. its solid billet aluminum that has been powder paintied a "candy apple" red (looks annodized). I think it would look good in my car since I have a "little" polish and red annodizing in the engine area <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

<img src="http://members.aol.com/steven0932/****.jpg" alt=" - " />

This would be more for shows and such. I would use my leather SLP **** for racing and cruising..

Now for the question.. does anyone here know "for sure" what our thread specs are??

Thanks

I dont run it anymore as it was too long for my tastes. I run a leather **** now.

This would be more of a show know and I think it would tie in with my engine bay nicely (and add a little visual interest to my interior)..

If you have red inside your car already it would blend in great. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I personally don't care for it in the pic, but I might think differently once I saw it installed in your car. (Since I've loved absolutely everything you've done so far!) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
It is fun though to change out **** from time to time for a different feel. I use my leather SLP **** most of the time, but also have an SS billet **** that I throw on for shows & such.

I guess I'll have to be the first one with a dissenting vote. IMO, it doesn't match anything in the interior of your car. The one in the pic of your interior looks better.

Dude, remember my Hurst shifter? Chrome stem with Hurst logo and a '69 chrome shift ball... That would be absolutely perfect in your car.

Sorry Steve, but I gotta say that red/polished **** looks like total ***. Eeewww!

my vote --> <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" />

Keep the one that matches the interior <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Blingmeister don't do it man, it looks like something out of a bad 70s movie. <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" />

I also like a **** that matches the interior, I have the 2003 cobra **** on a 2003 cobra pro 5.0 stick. It looks killer, short and matches the interior.

I believe the stock thread size is 12x1.75
