Still running the OEM one. I'd like something with a little better grip, but I've always liked leather-covered *****, so the OEM ones are hard for me to beat.

It's going to hit about 103 degrees F here today. The metal shift-pattern insert and collar get too hot as it is.

I had a Nismo CF one and just took it off after a couple of weeks cuz I HATED IT!!!! Felt like crap! I like the round style shifters much better! It stinks cuz I love the way it looks but I just couldn't rip it. Very uncomfortable for me!

Yep my temp readout read 103 and 101 after 5 minutes with the window open.
AC on after 20 minutes still at 101.
My hand got scorched against the shift pattern I tried keeping my hand over it so the sun didn't hit and it would cool down

why would you guys cheapen your cars with some of these shift *****.IMHO I think the stock **** is the sexiest and one of the most comfortable ***** I have ever used. Anything else doesn't really match up to the quality of the steering wheel and just doesnt look like it belongs in the car.
