Ok, first initial impressions:

The TI knob is a bit thinner than I might like. I find that I am a palm shifter mote often than not. We'll have to see how it goes after a few days. Did you all have any initial misgivings about the slenderness of the shifter?

Also, MAN THIS BUGGER GETS HOT!
I went inside to get a bit of lunch today and came out an hour later to a truly searing experience! It's ok, I was expecting it...just not so soon!
Happy.... yeah if you're a palm shifter, might take some getting used to. As for me, that's what I wanted, since I can grip it like a joystick. I couldn't do that with the big burly stock knob. I love my Ti shifter....

As for the heat during summer... VERY easy fix bro.... I always have a quality microfiber towel or two in the car for interior dusting, and for bird crap. So, after parking, I just cover the knob with the towel. Voila.

I also use it to cover my detector so no one can see it in the car....
