Default Opinions on Aftermarket Shift *****

The poll is multiple choice, so you can choose whether you like black or carbon fiber as well.
Keep in mind, I am trying to make my car look original, not ricey. I don't really like the look of the stock A4 Camaro ****, so i'm looking for something a bit more stylish.

Sadly, I have been having a great deal of difficulty finding much other than extremely ricey shift *****. I don't want anything "futuristic" with rivits or flashy LEDs, or a tube or ball. I do have some taste.

I like the look of some Mercades, and BMW shifters. But, because they all have their respective logos, these would simply look wrong in my Z28...

These are only decent shift ***** I could find that would fit my theme. Let me know what some of you guys think.

1. MOMO F16 I think this has the best lines, but the missing part in the middle is a bit too much. Maybe I could slide something cool inside there?


2. MOMO Tomahawk


3. MOMO Combat Evo


4. APC Ergo 1


5. APC Ergo 2


6. Razo


These are all the ***** I found that I might consider. I'm obviously going to need to buy the manual **** adapter - If I can't be crafty and make one, is this possible? - because there are no nice looking auto ***** anywhere.

Also, is there any other problems I might encounter with these *****?

To be honest theyre not ricy at all but look too european or exotic for your car. Maybe Im wrong and it could be pulled out....I like mine. I got it from MBA (RIP)...

I do like the style of the C6 shifter, if it came in stainnless steel instead of that grey leather, I might have considered it.

I'm actually worried about how they will look in my car, No one has installed anything like these, so I can't see what they will actually look like. I plan to do a number of things to make my interior a little more flashy, so i'm hoping they will fit in with my other ideas: painting some parts pewter, white flace guages, changing lights from green to blue.

I just don't really like the look of ball shift *****.

Out of those I voted Combat Evo, but if you can get a C6 shifter... I'd go with that.
