i think it's too bad you couldn't have got it in black plastic... match the rest of your interior.. the wood stands out a little much... the contrast is just... well, i think you see my point. but regardless, looks nice.

i thought about ap istol grip for mine.. but i figured my elbow would be in teh console if i got one... how does yours feel shifting?

I made this with scrap wood. Painting it black is an idea. For the feel of it it's feels good.

I would definitely paint it black. It looks out of place as it is. Good work though.
