I'd second that fuzzy ****. Nothing like good OEM design.

Yes, it fits the S4. Although, $245 is a lot for a shift ****.

Default the poblem he had was that making "number" stickers to go with the logo, was difficult...as numbers

are small and dont die cut well(I assume). But yesterday he posted a sticker with numbers on it with a black backing already. Making his problem with the numbers a non issue as here is no cuting of the numbers involed...) I dont know if I explained it well, but thats the gist of it

Default Re: Im looking for a carbon fibre ****- to feed my ricer impulse (but in moderation) :-)

I removed the factory blimp **** after about 2 days. I found a nice little aluminum one at a local auto store. I don't care about the pattern not being on it.

This one is smaller than the factory one. It seems like I can let the gears find themselves much better with this one even though I have big hands. Smaller is better for my wife, also.

The problem with aluminum is temperature - it gets very hot in the sun in the summer and is very cold if the car is very cold.

Carbon fiber or other plastic that is less temp conductive would be ideal. The leather covering is good with temperature extremes, but I don't want that much "grip" on the thing. I prefer a hard and fairly smooth material.

There are a number of sites with *****. Momo has some of the nicer looking ones IMHO.

Did I get the number right? $245 for a shift ****? Wow. I thought I was going crazy buying every cheap one in town just to try out different shapes and materials. I spent maybe 100 bucks that day.

I thought the one I ended up leaving on it was pricey at about $22 for nicely machined aluminum.
