This is the ring I am talking about for you guys that are wondering:
Shift knob experimentation!....>>
And this is another option I'm going to try that Steve (Modshack) used with the same knob as mine:
370z shift knob question
I do really like the feel of the way I have it now, though, so I'm going to work on the aesthetics over the weekend to see if I can get some of you jokers to appreciate.
Really, though, keep the comments coming... negative or positive. The more input on how to make it better the better...
