It's funny you mention that, after reading about it on dale's homepage I ordered up the chrome one ($9 from ray). Matches the shifter great, and I can't complain about the ease of install

i don't know if light is good or not i just installed it so i haven't taken it for a drive, one of my first impressions is the lightness of the **** has a "cheap" feel to it. i'll see how it is when driving today.

agree with the momo ***** statement. those never stay in place in my experience.

I cant handle those tiny shifters, and for some reason I hate the ***** with the shift pattern on them, unless they are stock ofcourse.

Here's mine. It's a weighted titanium **** from ARC. I use to have a leather Momo ****, but switched it with this.

The flash just makes the boot leather look really light, in reality it's a charcoal black.
