Default Boy, this gear shift **** gets hot in the sun!
It's just starting to get fairly warm in Denver (80F) and today the shifter was hot to the touch. I'm wondering what's going to happen when we really hit summer. Ouch !

Default that's the B5 RS4 ****....not sure if it fits B7 cars.
they have a B7 A4 DTM **** in alcantera that should fit the B7 RS4. According to der Kimbo, there is no OEM B7 RS4 **** in alcantera...it's suede and has to be special-ordered from quattro GmbH.
