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!

As for the slim design it felt alittle different at first but I got use to it and like it. yah metal knobs can get hot. Its funny how my metal twm knob on my G doesn't get nearly as hot in the sun. It might be due to its matte finish... |

Yah, I love cracking on "the orientals" with my wife. It always gets a laugh or two out of her...and she feels exceptionally bad for laughing because she's 100% Chinese!

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....

Holy crap ,that install was a PAIN IN THE ***! I also couldn't find the rubber tips for the robogrip, so now I have a giant bite mark on the shaft! (that sounds so wrong!)
I ended up needing an extra set of hands because the strap wrench was putting up a fight with me. I tried doing it without the strap wrench and almost broke my damn wrist lol. I made a big screw up, the robogrip grabbed some of the boot so now I have a tiny hole on my boot Now I am going to see this every day and get annoyed until I end up buying a new custom boot. Arg! I guess the only fix would be for me to stitch it really quick but I don't want to! Post install, knob feels great, it is very narrow. I could end up with carpal tunnel from shifting now! Throws feel much nicer and cleaner, a quick shift kit would make this perfect!

Unfortunately the Dealer used metal pliers to remove the stock knob, but the damage wasn't as bad as I was expecting. I leased my Z. I guess I'll worry about it when I turn the car in. Next up is replacing the HU with the JVC 7" touch screen!

The open O is like so:
Otherwise, the O is solid.
