Custom shifters!

I just finished modifying my shifter and was wondering what ideas people have come up with for their shifters. I've seen tons of different ones from screw driver handles to sockets. If you have one, post it up!

Heres mine:

my friend has always thought of making a "hand" shift ****. so it's as if you're holding hands with someone. freakin' random.

Believe it or not, I HATED the stock shifter. I have big hands and could never really get a good grip on the stock one. This works a lot better.

^ Thats pretty OG...

I was thinking about the closed end but cut the wrench off un-centered. When I put the closed end on it, I went to test shift to 3rd and knocked out all my center vents. >.<

It *was* a 1 1/4" wrench btw.

Wow. Uncomfortable and ugly while retaining a certain "ghetto" feel as well.

+1, it would probably be easier to handle/ grip with too.

A wrench is pretty neat. I've seen ******, upside down liquor bottles, NO ****, actual pool cue/8 ball.

I used to have a chrome ball my friend nicknamed the Death Star because it would set your hand on fire. My friend gave me his old WRX shift ****. It's a bit meatier than stock but still simple. I like it
