Default Free shift **** mod

The leather on my shift **** started to look raggedy with 10 years of use so I decided to today it had to go. I just cut off the leather with a knife, careful not to scratch it underneath, and the actual ball is the same dark grey as the rest of the interior so it matches perfectly and looks way better. Took years off the look of the interior.



Obviously its cheap, its free. Anyone got a flip out cup holder???

I already trashed the old leather cover but before it had black duct tape holding it to the stick becuase it had come loose from the ball. Fixing one eye sore at a time with this car. Still looking for a flip out cup holder....

Shift ***** are NOT about appearance. But at the same time dont have something that will stand out in your nice interior like a sore thumb. Primer if it fits good in your hand, and you can nail that 2-3 shift hard, then more power to you!

I thought about painting it, but I like the plain look. I'm not really feeling those ones WS6 store has, kind of cheesy having emblems engraved on the ****, like your going to forget what kind of car you have. I dont even have z28 badges on the outside of my car, why would I put it on the inside?
