ebay! It's a cheap one, but is heavier than OEM, gives better throw when I shift. I used it on the track and it when fine. But you pay for what you get, it's 8 $ but I don't think it will last 10 years, probably just a few. :D

nope little screws to hold on, that's why I said it wouldn't last 10 years! ;)

Yes very nice, Same paint I used on my calipers, thought they faded after awhile from the heat. Quick fix keep wax of tire shine on them at least once a week to keep them like fresh paint. I sugest next clean off the side moldings.

I like the job on the wheels but the red numerals on the shift knob don't match with your car IMO...

Looks great man, nice work. Did you paint the center caps aswell? The knob looks good aswell. Will the boot reach top of the shifter?

with universal shifters the boot will never look right unless you cut the shifter and reweld it a lilttle shorter as for the rims they have potential but they look a lil akward without the caps

I know that it looks a little akward without center caps, but the center caps are horrible. This is what it looked like on the Ford Contour at 1st.
