Quick Pro/Con list based off of 2 weeks of use
Pros:
Pros:
- Pleasure to look at all day - makes an already sporty steering wheel look even more aggressive
- More room to shift (~1 inch more to the top and bottom of OEM shifter, ~1/2 inch to the sides)
- Shifts feel more crisp and solid due to the extra weight
- Fitment is spot on
- Makes driving experience THAT much more enjoyable
- Can burn you like a seatbelt on very hot days (cools pretty quickly with the AC on, though)
- Still can't shift from 10 & 2 positions (I have pretty big hands too)
- The extended bottom makes it harder to reach your cruise control / if you shift and pull the CC lever up at the same time, they collide (unlikely to happen but thought I'd mention it)
- If you occasionally use your left knee to steer the wheel, you have a good chance of downshifting on accident

thanks for the review! it addressed my 2 concerns. how hot it gets in direct sun, and will it affect knee steering (no joke). props to you
