That one is not for me. To each their own. But, some of those on the site are really cool.

Why not find something that feels good in your hand (NOT THAT!) and make your own.

That grenade would look good in a rat rod, not a B5. I had this in my 97 and loved it. I had the stainless finish. Only down side was that it got really effin hot when it sat in the sun, and really effin cold in the winter time

That grenade shift **** is a sure way to get hassled when you get pulled over.

I have an Osir Orbit V3 shift **** with red LED and I love it. The quality is superb (should be for $140), it feels great in the hand, and the power connection for the LED is slick.

Heres a couple really crappy pictures of it, I'm long overdue to take new interior pictures.

This is the only picture I have of it during the day, way before I installed a short shifter. When I finally order a new shift boot it will conceal the wire for the **** and clean the area up.
