Simple mod

I painted the engraved shift pattern on the shifter knob using Testors' red paint and a small brush. I will try to get a better pic once the sun goes down.

Great idea. I don't know if your camera has it but the macro function is great for pics that close.

I would like to get a different knob, something smooth yet grippy. I don't need the gear guide.

Cool idea!

Better yet, you could get a great tatoo to match like this chick did! Check it out!

I would hope none of us need it.

I just thought it would look better painted.

I saw one that Momo makes that is already to accept the reverse safety interlock, but the interlock is out of round. The Momo has a round recess for the interlock to slide into. I was wondering if anybody has put one on yet. I am sure the interlock could be taken down on a lathe to fit.
