Re: 6 > 4 [Six speed content]

Chris,

That shift knob would go with the wheel colour that you were leaning towards though, no?

Hmm, good point. Could be somewhat close. And actually I compared the color I chose to my V2 cai, which is also gunmetal, and they nearly match. I think I will paint the engine covers gunmetal too, hope to have a good red/gm theme going...if my freakin paint guy ever calls me back, lol. Still riding on stock wheels and I'm sooo tired of it, especially since I lowered the car more.

Yeah, I think that woudl be a good look, that shift knob has the colour theme in it as well, would set off the rest nicely.

Oh, you actually did lower it more......I should find the posts about NOT lowering it any more! :lawl:

There are probably plenty of those. haha

And yeah if the metal matches somewhat I may be able to get over the fact that there is no other brushed aluminum on the interior. I also have been looking for a black leather boot with red stitching, but all I've found is suede.

Tan, but I want the shift boot to be black. That one looks nice. I need to read up on boots though, in regard to compatibility. Doesn't seem like they would be a "one size fits all" deal. But maybe they are.

S2K ones I think would also be an option as well, and would be more compatible of course.

Just the challenge of trying to find one.

The black would look better anyway, although a tan shift boot would more unique.

Tan would be unique. Tan with red stitching would be even more unique, though probably non-existent. lol

I'll be keeping a lookout.

Tan with red can be easily done, as can black leather with red.

If you are willing to pay for it, you can get a piece of tan leather/suede, it wouldn't be anything to get something stitched together.

Millz, if you ask nicely, maybe they will let you take one for a drive!
