Default Gone Old School on my Shifter

Installed Hurst T-Handle on my GMM shifter. Still working on the boot setup.

Thanks, I still need to trim the boot a little. I am going to cut out 2 more levels in it. I think with three showing on top and a Brush Alum. grill at the bottom will complete it for me. Best part is thay it works well with no binding. The stock boot just did look right to me with the Hurst T.

I do like it a little bit. I am partial to the leather boot. I would also ratherhave the handle about 1/2 inch higher at max. Just seams too short. Still looks good.

Your boot is more old-school than your shifter. I'm not *normally* a big fan of either that style boot or the T-handles, but for some reason it looks really good in yours. The fact that you have a high tech screen right next to it provides good contrast - a good mix of old and new.

I don't like shifting T-handles, but it looks sweet. Definitely an eye catching mod.

Actually I am changing out the T-handle and going with the White Hurst Shift ball next week. I will post some pictures when I am done.

T-handles look cool, but they suck to shift quickly. Your hand position needs to change on 1-4 gears when you shift quick, that T-handle prevents that.

I think the mostly black & white pictures look good, but I wouldn't cut any levels out of the rubber boot.

Say, what is that third switch in your console? That does not look like the bluetooth switch.

I put in the bluetooth and doorlock kit in my car. I thought it would be cool to have a passenger eject button.

It's the JHP AUX switch that I use for my Line Locks.

I think it looks good, just not for me. But none the less it looks great.
