looks more like an E brake Handle. but its hot for being on an automatic.

lol yea it does look like an e-brake. looks nice tho

i like it. 

i concur, looks like an e-break handle.    personally i don't like it but that's just one man's opinion.

That knob was a POS it kept getting lose no matter how tight I screwed the allen screws plus after you mentioned it it did remind me of a e-brake so I put my old one back on but, I painted the middle will post pic later and I sold the other shifter to a dude with a Honda LOL Great day for me.

alrighty than, next! lol

lol, Hondas... ew...
Apart from it looking like an ebrake handle... ever notice that there is NOTHING that matches that bizarre silver/bronze color that 3Gs are accented with.. its irritating.

Here are pics of my insides

i like my shift knob.  only like 30 bucks if i remember correclty and i love the look.   top half CF bottom half aluminum.

You have many more options than us, Ron... dont you got a 5spd? Hey, Nubain, whatd u use to paint the shift knob and seats?

believe it or not I tried the Du Point spray paint on on door panel and i did not like how it came out so I went to home depot and told them what I was trying to do. I got the little color swatch and they mixed some outdoor vinyal paint. I used that and a very small brush used for car models and tape. I did not clear coat because I did not want that shine. 1 pint of paint was like $12 I still have a lot left. people were saying that it would mess up over time but, the dude from Home Depot told me that ikf I painted a mailbox or some porch trim that it would last for like 5 years in the elements. So inside your car it should last even longer. I have had my trim done for almost a year and it looks like it did the day I painted it.

True, but I mean... mailboxes arent being sat on and shifted around on all the time.. like the seats.. which you also used the home depot approach on?

No I got seat covers for the seats I painted the back plastic part and the handles my interior was tan with a black dash. All I need to do now is get a headliner. I may get custom black and grey leather seats if I can find cheap. If I can find some black leather ones in junkyard I will resurface the center of the seats with grey.

When I install my Sparcos (if I ever do that) I got a set of black leather seats that Ill prolly sell...

COOL
 

In fact, its likely that Id trade them for a set of the sparco brackets that mount the new seats to my 3G and shipping of the seats to wherever you are

yes i have a 5speed.  and yes i do have a lot more options than the anuto's.  unles it's a luxury car or a truck i don't think i'll ever own an automatic (or a bike of course which i've been lookin at lately w/ my eclipse money . . . )

The only reason I have a sport-tronic(auto) is because my wife does not drive a stick and I did not want to hear her mouth about buying a car that she could not drive. I tried teaching her when we were dating years ago and she is unteachable lol!! 

Same reason I got mine, lol... Though, I was hoping it would be more like the Hurst his&hers shifter (Specifically like the one in a '71 LeMans I used to own).. but alas, not nearly the same

that's funny.   in this situation i would normally say "you can't teach old dogs new tricks" (no reference to ur girl being a dog, just and expression)  but i saw on mythbusters that you CAN teach an old dog new tricks lol

LMAO

ROFL!!!

YES! Ron made a funny! lol    btw,   ROFL is that for Roll On Floor Laughing?

Something like maybe RollING on floor laughing... But hey, who knows? lol
