This is the place to post all of the car related Christmas presents you receive this year.


I received an early Christmas present today. (turns out sounddomain.com is in Seattle so shipping only took a day) My mom bought me a new shift knob. But not just any shift knob... an LED shift knob!! I usually don't like them, but check this one out!
It has 4 settings (chase, flash, on, off) and the carbon fiber thing on the top is actually a button. The lights are very bright and really add to the interior of my car! Plus it is heavier than the stock one so shifter is more fluid!

It has a weird way of installing. It doesn't screw in, but a plastic sleeve is put inside the shifter and then three small screws have to be tightened from the sides to hold it in place. There was a small gap between the knob and boot. I had a plastic washer that was about 1/4 inch thick so I put in in there and now it sits perfect. It is on fairly tight, but with some twisting I can get it off.
