I don't have it yet, but my heart is absolutely set on a B&M chrome hammer head, (different from T-Handle, more ergonomic). I'll have one jussas soon as I get all my audio equipment, and of course I'd be delighted to post pix, although that will be too far away to do you any good..... well, uhhh....

I got mine from chevymall.com , but i don't think they sell them anymore, you can get basicly the same one (for a little more money) for MBA.

mine has the bowtie on it, but MBA makes them with tons of diffrent logo's to choose from.

I've got an MBA **** in my IROC, and one in my GTA. I love them. They're a very high quality piece. My only complaint is that the **** gets too hot to touch in the summer, and too cold to touch in the winter.

I like the MBA *****, too. Mine is maroon and says WS.6. It's almost the exact same color as the outside of my car so it looks good (it's really close in color but not quite, but the **** is far enough away from exterior color that the two aren't easily comparable).

I like the leather wraped ***** with stiching down the sides. If you have a Hurst shifter under there, one with an inlayed "H" would be really cool. That's what I plan on doing when I get my Quarter Stick.

Gloves mannn, some of my friends say it looks gay, but I love my fingerless leather driving gloves.

I drove a supra with one of those and I always had to contort my hand to shift with it. I found it very uncomfortable. On an auto it's nice, but on a stick I hated it.

I have a B&M Hammerhead, and it looks and feels best in my opinion, I used to have a White Hurst with the 5-Speed pattern on top, it looked pretty good too. Flameball.com and Mooneyes.com have great custom *****, just too expensive for me

it's the berlinetta dash. I have heard they are prone to failure, but you gotta dig the "KNIGHT RIDER LOOK"
