I'm planning to do a bit of interior work in my car in the middle of January. I ordered a new bride shift boot, short throw shifter from axialflow, planning to re-do my silver trim pieces with 3m di-noc, and now just want to top it all off with a shift ****. I'm just wondering what ***** you guys are all using. I want something either carbon fiber or polished black. So far I've found...

black pearl. very expensive though. don't want to pay that much

Is there anything I should look for or stay away from? I would like a ball shape like the black pearl one but at a lower price.

 

I would go with the black peral shift ****. It looks 20x better than the other 2 options. Its metal so it will get hot, but the other 2 look cheap with the carbon fiber print. Unless it is real carbon fiber I feel it is just dumb to buy it. If you don't want metal look for a poly material. Most quality shift ***** are gonna run you around 100 though.

 

Goodwin Racing, voo doo shift ****, textured black.

At Goodwin Racing, take a look at the Miata section too. They have a different selection and the threads are the same.

 

I went this route in the polished black. $50 shipped beats $169 + shipping any day for a shift ****.

Thanks for the help.

Voo Doo w/ pearl finish. Matches the trim on the either side of the center console perfectly.

 

I say go baller with VooDoo!

This is where I get mine made, in case you want to go custom. Mine are custom counter-weighted, and being non metallic, they stay cool in the sun etc....

 

Pics of yours? Or is it in the "Let me see your Shift ****" thread?

 

It is there too, but here is a kinda crappy picture.

Bruce is a really cool dude, so if you wanna go crazy and be creative. Knock yourself out.

 

Just came fromt eh Kool ***** website... may have to be my first upgrade to my new Shinka!!

 

I recommend it, the quality is great, and it is nice to have something one of a kind.

 

 

OP- i bought that sparco one. i think it looks good.

 

I ended up purchasing a black polished voodoo and love it. Combined with the axial flow, the car is completely different when shifting. I'll post a picture later today with my phone.

 

 

^^^ I really want to wrap my silver trim in 3M's CF tape... that looks awesome
