Default ugly shift *****.

is it me or 99 percent of the shift ***** out there are just UGLY? i'm looking for something classy yet has a sporty look to it. my best find is a **** that was designed for audi. I believe it is called the Rk2 for the audi a4.. it was brushed alum and shaped like a ball.. anyone got pics of some actually shift ***** that look decent or links? i've been looking forever now and haven't found anything decent... The only one I found that was decent was the Veilside or Greddy shift **** which looks identical. Haven't really seen any other one out there... help me out guys

my friend has one of these and they look a bit too big. it looks a bit out of place. also if that **** is added to my car it makes the stick really really tall.. i dunno what i should do. i think these ***** are ok but i don't know how they look from up top.. you can only see the side of the ****. I'm willing to spend around 100 bucks if the **** looks nice enough.

i'm sort of searching for a silver ball. with no designs or very few. i really like the look of that. I would also like to have just the ball and not that bottom piece. Have you seen any of those around? I think those look very clean and nice.

Default Ugly/pretty shift *****?

Can I recommend some of what I think are some nice-looking shift *****?
....The chrome (real chrome, not just plastic) ball **** on the Lexus IS300. ( I have an IS300 myself )
....The pistol-grip-shaped ***** on the 1969-1971 Plymouth and Dodge muscle cars...you may have do some hunting for one of these.
....The Hurst T-Handle from the same era (late 60's)
....The ivory-colored ball on the PT Cruiser
....The silver ball on the Chrysler Crossfire (but the plastic is a little cheap...you might not like it)
....That Momo shift **** posted by benxd looks nice also.

Good Luck.
