all good, but make sure if you have DD for the night that he knows its a 5 speed and not a 6, bad things could happen

the 8-ball on the other hand, not my style

I'm mainly kidding about the rice thing, if you looked in the window and didn't know... you'd think I had six speeds... that's all.

The eight ball... doesn't really represent me, but it feels good in my hand and it looks kinda cool IMO. It goes with the fuzzy dice I carry just in case.

I don't see rice. Console looks good, but the 8 ball is so 80s.

Wow, I have never seen Iroc Rims on a Firebird with no ground effects. For the shifter **** to be rice it would have to be a bright color and possibly neon lighted LOL.

SO thats where my magic 8-ball went. Ive been looking for it. J/k

I think a 8ball would be better off in a a beat up F-150 then in a sports car, but if you like it then its allright.

Everybody's waiting for someone else to scratch...

ROFL Man I nearly fell off my seat!

I'm just curious, what sort of shifter fits the car better? I never really thought about it... I still have the stock ****, but it was missing the center cap so I went down to Autozone and picked this baby up...

Time for some sleep, I'll check it out in the morning.

CPC out

This looks better than the eight ball. And if someone screams rice ... Lets just not go there.

This is an old pic, from when I first put it on. Since then I have taken an inch of the top of the shifter's shaft, and gotten the bottom ring to fit on properly (where you can see that gray showing is no longer there). Oh, I have also cleaned the interior up. In this picture it looks horrible.

I will try to get new pics soon. Sorry the picture's so large.

Its your car, so whatever you like, use. I don't care for it or that carbon fiber thing above. I'd prefer something ordinary, just a black ball would be fine for me. But you're the one who has to look at it all the time, so you should like it. Don't worry what we think.

I guess I'll have to go with the old "To each his own" I like the eight ball, carbon fiber isn't my thing, I don't have an automatic and the piston would hurt to hold too long...

The console is straight black, the lighting wasn't too good, I took the picture after sunset.
