            oh snap - I recall some guy or company that sold cool billiard balls of your choosing - but then they had a quick-release coupler that kinda turned me off.

            Post up a pic of it !!

            I do think the size and weight of a billiard ball would be ideal.. and I've secretly liked those 'softball' shift knobs that some camaros came with..

              of course we all know that the greatest shift knob of all time has to be the skull with eyes that light up red..

                Yeah I've seen them online. wasn't too fond of them either. I had an extra set, so I practiced on the 12. After I worked out the details, moved on to the 3.

                        If I recall correctly, BMW sells a retrofit harness that makes it so you don't have to clip your wires.
