Update ... shift knob ... I cut it shorter

I think it looks a lot nicer shorter




This wouldn't be too bad if the shaft wasn't so small (can just imagine the comments that statement will get )

With the way the momo shifter mounts with the set screws and rubber bushing I just took the old one off ... put some electrical tape at the length I wanted to cut it. Busted out a hacksaw and started cuttin ..... took a little bit of effort, but it is well worth it. Did I metnion I love this car??

No really feeling the knob (if you know what I mean), but it looks way better after you cut it.

I can see the usefulness of a shorter knob, but sorry I'm not feeling that Momo knob's design at all.

I prefer my standard SE's knob, but I too find the knob is too high. I'll be cutting mine too
