That looks like it will burn my hands in these hot summer days in AZ!

The one I got looks similar to that with the metal/o-rings although it still has the factory mushroom shape. I painted the metal parts to match the exterior of the car since I do not have any billit pieces inside. The top of it actually has a push button that lights up a blue led by battery. It came with a 5-speed and a 6-speed shifter pattern to go inside the button but I sanded that off and then buffed it smooth again. After that I printed up a simple black mustang pony logo and put it under the button so that the white pony logo lights up when I push it.

As for the metal part getting hot, I keep a sock under my seat.

Yeah I used to have a "tremec" 5 speed shifter ball similar to yours boomshakalaka except it was metal not black. It did get quite hot during those summer days but I would put a hat on the shifter and it would work like a charm, I suppose a sock might work better though lol

I had one of those in my old GT. VERY nice, but renders the front cup-holder complete useless.

Next time I'm over remind me to snag my two piece Steeda shifter out of my center console and you can try it out to see if ya like it. If so, it's yours...

Gotta come over there soon anyways as I need to load me some more ammo:laughing:

I think I want the stock leather knob. Anyone have a spare laying around?

These are photos of my PRO 5.0 Shifter with MGW Adjustable Handle and MGW Knob.

I currently have the MGW Shifter in place of the PRO 5.0. I rate them a very close 1 - 2. The MGW is a bit better, in my opinion.

I have used four knobs, including the original, and this is my favorite. Hands down! :icon_cool:

I would agree, I really like mine but the only thing I can put in the front cup holder is my remote for my XM. Even putting a drink in the second cup holder makes it sometimes a pain to shift.
