Had some fun with my knob...

[slammed_e30]

So this last weekend I cutup my shifter and made it glow, wasn't too hard the hardest what getting nice clean numbers. Not too bad for a free mod. Looking through a bmp catalog they wanted $110 for one!!!!! Anyways what do you think?

That looks really good slammed (great thread title btw) but I prefer this method over the "needle to the silver lines and numbers"

Basically, just buy the clear insert from an E34 M5. :-)

That would have been some good info to have before, But oh well, i think i get more enjoyment out of the final product when i put the elbow grease into it.

good job, the first two I did looked like shit, then I found a factory one :)
what did you use to light it with?

[slammed_e30]

Just a small 12v bulb and a piece of red plastic.

and you powered it by the front ashtray light correct.

Looks good in my opinion. :up:

I did a google search on "cutting up your knob", and all I got were fetish sites.
