RB, I seem to recall that you might be hot to swap out your wood trim. Looking at these pix, I can't see it - yours [is the light poplar?] looks great, better than my darker wood trim. And yes, eyeballing the pix, my UUC round aluminum knob appears quite a bit shorter. GD, as for Stiffler's Mom in the passenger seat - if she were as hot as you suggest, I know I wouldn't be eyeballing the shift knob, no matter how tastefully illuminated ....
