I noticed my shift **** show a lot of wear. They should have used grey plastic rather than yellow and painted it grey to match.

I agree with Gord on the Voodoo *****. I've used one for about a year now and it is still in perfect condition. It was a great improvement over the stock shift ****, much better feel and a slightly shorter throw. The powder coating does not seem to wear off at all.

No rings, and I don't rest my hand on the **** while driving.

Just poor plating and no clearcoat IMO.

If anybody wants to get rid of their worn ****, I'm interested in buying one... need it to test some idea.
Let me know - thanks.
