You musta missed these. IMO 8 ball is OK for a hot rod but doesn't look right in a sport compact.

the nice thing about it is the knob has about 2 inches of adjustment so that it can be about as tall as the stock one or pretty damn short, i keep it some where in between...
to give you a point of reference, sit in your ca, and go from 3rd into neutral. where it is sitting in neutral, i would be in 4th.

if you look at the stock shaft compared to the TWM, it's got more of a bend to it, so that it does that. i kinda like it, but that's because with my arm on the armrest, i can shift without having to move the damn thing

OK, I'm really liking the short-throws of the shifter. But, the chrome knob is like a chunk of ice in this Midwest winter. Has anyone changed shift knobs, or cover the chrome with some material?

^^LMAO, chunk of ice, same here, only thing is thats it winter right nowso that dam thing gets a bit cold sometimes, which is why i use my sleeve to my jacket to hold it with 
, that damt hing is cold, i havent changed it yet, but im you sure you can, i tried to once, but no matter which knob i put on it, it would seem more like the throws were made longer again, cuz the knobs were 2 big

No ****, but it makes you shift fast. I think a toyota knob will fit if you remove the RLO piece.

I adjusted the shifter tonight to go back as far as possible, much better. Also did the "Crown Royal" mod. Put a single serving size Crown Royal felt bag over the shift knob.
