Damn now we know that the overly manly man drives a Z. Other people need the jaws of life to remove their OEM knob. I'm curious though, if I install the nismo carbon fiber knob will it be really hot when I leave the car in the heat? I live in Texas and its an oven over here. I don't wanna have to get in my car and cook my hands while I shift.
