HS with gold wheels is such an underrated combo, this thing is stunning.

Short shifter is a possibility. Up next is possibly a GTS style hood or Intakes and charge pipes in the gold finish.

What's the purpose of the roll cage may I ask? Do you intend to use bucket seat with harness?

Looks great! Silly question, but how do you like that shift knob? I'm still running the OEM one (and don't like that newer silver looking M Performance one), but have been on the fence about this one...sometimes I feel like I really like the clean OEM look, sometimes I want more CF...

I mostly did it for the aesthetics but would like to track the car next year and possibly add harnesses. Covid shut down all scheduled events here where I can ride with an instructor.

I like the change. Feels shorter as far as the shifter height. It's much smaller in the hand than the OE knob. It looks great too so it's a plus.

Keep an eye out in the classifieds as people sell very lightly used ones so you don't have to pay 399 from ind or swap the knob over to your boot if you get the 2series version with silver stitching.

Install tip. Put the shifter into 2nd gear and pull hard and try not to hit yourself in the face.

Bought a replacement and had it powder coated. Original is sitting in the garage. I think I remember the replacement being $80
