Okay.

I want to do something different with my car, so I went out and got some pedals, they are polished alum, so they reflect my neons a lot, so I love it. My cars got this Black / Gray and Blue Light Theme (Panasonic Deck is Blue, Neons, Lights, Subs are Blue, etc).

I want to change my shift ****, but I am afraid of going from the warn out leather that it is now to something metal that will burn my hands / freeze my hands, in our lovly Canadian Weather

Thanks

What's wrong with leather wrapped *****...if you don't have sweaty palms. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

MOMO seems to have a MASSIVE selection of shifters. Just have a look at SoundDomain.

I like the street glow shift ***** with the hot wirez line through them, they're pricey, but really classy looking for a neon shifter.

Could look at Carbon Fibre or wood *****. may not be your thing but avoids the cold metal issue.
If I keep the car I'll prob go carbon fibre becuz the neon shifters they have do look gay.

Loud - Thanks for the offer but if I want one that bad it would have to be blue as the neon pedals i have are blue and the neon tube i have is blue and the license plate frame is also blue lol

Yeah if anything that would be the neon shifter I'd get. I dont like the ones where its a clear **** with the neon ring.. also the one thing I hate about neon shifters is the wires, hiding them or not hiding them its just a mess n to much to bother with. That's another thing that even tho I was all hype for neon's in my car the wiring is a pain in the butt and a pain to hide and such lol. Thinkin of sellin the glow pedals I have to replace them with the non glow ones that look the same but will look nicer without all that stupid wiring and such lol

Wiring isn't hard to hide, you just have to remember that if you can't see it, it's hidden, wire doesn't have to be completely concealed, just out of sight. Ty-raps and tape are great for that, as well as tucking the wires up behind interrior panels, and under carpet. With pedals though, always leave enough slack on the wire that it will allow the pedal to have a full range of motion, but not interfere with anything else as well, this tends to be an art as well as a science.
