Looking good!!

RE: Automatic sex !!!
 

Yep, I got that just after getting CRUSH and it is awesome..;)

RE: Automatic sex !!!
 

Question... is it just me or does it appear that the tab near the bottom of the grip has the D -/+ upside down?

RE: Automatic sex !!!
 

Its just you, cause they look correct to me.

RE: Automatic sex !!!
 

DOH!! Thats just a reflection on the chrome piece at the base of the handle... [8D]

RE: Automatic sex !!!
 

I like it where did it come from?

That looks Fantastic!! How and where can we get one? Thanks

RE: Automatic sex !!!
 

Looks good except for the shift pattern on the top as it is redundant.

RE: Automatic sex !!!
 

It looks good, but I've gotta ask myself: Would I bother with it on an automatic? Nope. Better to spend the money on something useful, like Ridergraphix stripes. They're easier to impress the general public with. [8D]

I love the old school look and I was thinking about get one, but.... for some reason it looks like an ice pick to me. I just can't get that image out of my mind. (Basic Instinct)

RE: Automatic sex !!!
 

Speaking of old school, let's go back to the school that burned down before the old school was built. If anyone wants to know the derisive term employed (mainly by those of use who preferred racing with automatic transmissions) for "pistol grip" shifters in the early 1970s, PM me. Just because of this term, which I first heard when I was 16 years old, I personally could never buy one. ;)

Mine is a hit at every car show I attend. Most people at the shows say to me please don't put on the stripes. Sooooo, to each his own.

It looks a little like someone took a fancy buck knife and stabbed the console. I like it but it would take getting used to.

VanishingPT2009 , WOW that looks awesome and I want one too, OK? The reason why is my 2009 R/T has the carbon fiber surround arond the console and the radio and dash surrounds and that shiffter handle would match perfect. Please can you give out some info IE............
1 What is the cost?
2 Where can I oreder it from ?
3 Is it hard to install?
4 Most of all how do you get the factory one off without hurting anything?

Sorry to be a pain and ask so much but anything you can answer would help, Thanks a bunch, FAT CAT [sm=gears.gif]

Does anyone have it on a manual. if so post so pics. i curious to see the difference.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Here is a link to the ebay store where I purchased the pistol grip
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=310087769599
I paid $160
It was easy to install..but I did have to modify it slightly to use it on an 09 LX. The pistol grip has a threaded nut welded deep into the base ... as 05 -07 LX cars shifter knobs / stalks are threaded. 09s have a friction bushing hidden by the chrome collar at the base of the knob. All you have to do is take a small flat blade screwdriver and gently pry between top of chrome collar and bottom of the leather knob, and the collar easily slips down the stalk. Then the knob easily pulls off the stalk, followed by the collar.
So the modification I had to perform to get it to sit on the stalk in the proper position (locating ring where the friction bushing sits) I took a 21/64ths drill ,and bore out the threaded nut, and @ 5/8" into the stalk = very easy to do as the base hole of the stalk guides the drill bit true!
