New Shift Knob!

[goldwing2000]

I'm putting this under Appearance because it's not really a performance mod, even though I shortened the shifter by about an inch.

So anyway, the shift knob isn't really new. It's actually quite old. It's been in my old, reliable pick-em-up truck for close to 8 years. Since I'm going to be scrapping the truck, I wanted to have a reminder of the old girl for years to come. (sad2)

Anyway... ignore the dirty carpets and floor mats.

Dang.....I was going to rag you too.....Then I looked at mine.......

Tell me about your pedals.....I bought some with the universal clip mounts and no way would they work.....

I've got the same pedals, got them here:

Took about 5 days to get here, just a snap on install after removing the rubber from the clutch and brake pedal. Took about 2 minutes to do and they look great.

goldwing wtf is that thing hanging down over your hvac controls? looks like a bare copper wire or something...? anyways nice look with the 8 ball, i would think it would look a bit more at home in your old truck but i understand... i have a piece of sheet metal (rust) from my old isuzu pu that i drove into the ground... even got the stealership to give me 1200 for it....hehehe...

There is no concern about them falling off?

 

[goldwing2000]

Renzo- You're entitled to your opinion.

Shiney- as stunna said, they are factory accessory pedals. And no, there's no danger of them coming off. They snap on quite securely.

tsunami- I was wondering if anybody would say anything about that. It's one of the braids from my girlfriends hair. It's hanging from my mirror.

The best part is that it's not a shift knob that looks like an 8-ball. It's a real 8-ball that I drilled and tapped to fit on the shifter. (thumb)

I would have been really impressed if you did that with an Brunswick 13 lb bowling ball.........

Well, it's only "hers" in the sense that she bought it and wore it for a few months. It's a braid extension and they fall out after a few months. It still reminds me of her, though. (boobs)
