^Happy that would work, but why? The black rubber one fits really well... and as Ken said, it contrasts the Ti well. Save your 25 bucks

I also like the rubber finisher. One tip though...if you use a little Armor All on it, it will smooth it out, darken it up and give it a little shine. I was fairly pleased with the results.

LOL My thoughts exactly Ken.... for once we agree on a product of choice!!! YAY!!! 303 FTW.

Yes, please, no armorall. That's blasphemy

That's like wearing sandals to a wedding, and you're in the wedding party.

Shift knob and GTR button installed in (no lie) 20 minutes! Since I had the shift knob off, it made installing the starter button sooo much easier! I was able to move the shifter boot and ring completely out of the way. It was not necessary to disconnect SRM or anything!

Thumbs up and REP to G2Z for the write up! Will post pics as time permits!

dang, not fair!

happytheman · 07-05-2011, 11:10 PM

Oh yeah..I only needed the strap wrench for the first two revolutions, and thereafter it was all by hand, baby!

FromG2Z · 07-06-2011, 08:14 AM

^ so the strap wrench REALLY worked for you too? Awesome man. So why is Ken the only one breaking his straps???? Is he just that much more buff than us?!?!?!

Yup, it worked just fine...and I dunno about kenchan's burly manliness, but I was able to remove the sucker by hand in short fashion!

Ok, first initial impressions:

The TI knob is a bit thinner than I might like. I find that I am a palm shifter mote often than not. We'll have to see how it goes after a few days. Did you all have any initial misgivings about the slenderness of the shifter?

Also, MAN THIS BUGGER GETS HOT!

I went inside to get a bit of lunch today and came out an hour later to a truly searing experience! It's ok, I was expecting it...just not so soon!

It might just be my karate background. You know, all Asians know kongfu and karate and jujitsu and taekwon dont. They're all the same.

As for the slim design it felt alittle different at first but I got use to it and like it.

yah metal knobs can get hot. Its funny how my metal twm knob on my G doesn't get nearly as hot in the sun. It might be due to its matte finish...
