what do you mean sit in the rest of the car?
I'm surprised you didn't know about them. they came in the hurst.olds, W-30's and the GTO Judges from the factory. it was THE performance auto shifter of the 60's-70's.

I like it and it really doesn't matter what all of us think, it's what you like.

I personally think it looks badass, it kinda goes with the e-brake and its' lether boot. I think I might have to do this mod once I get to the junkyard and find the trunk piece that is missing out of my car.

I don't like it per say... It's a 4 door, if I had a family I would rock that!
I don't so it's not my thing. Also it's not my thing... But think it looks great for a lot people. Definatly a great mod for 4door family cars. (imo)

Not sure why people like to do that. Now you have translucent light blue knobs that don't match anything whatsoever in the car. Makes the car look a lot cheaper with the rubber removed from the climate control knobs. :/
