I just switched back to the stock shift **** after a while. I like it a lot better. It's weighted nicely, it feels good, and it never gets too hot! I even tried the TRD leather **** and returned it for the stock ****

besideds it being meshed on top they are exactly the same
they are both made of alluminum,
i beleive the mesh one burns an interesting pattern onto your flesh that the brushed one does not.

either way they can get hot as hell.

just keep a towel or sock in the car with you (in the armrest is a good place lots of extra space there)

most people have Oakley sunglasses... just use the cleaner/case that comes with it... PERFECT fit and it will cool down after a little while of driving... i can't leave for lunch without doing this cuz it is about 130 degrees on average right now in the car....

Haha fair enough, thanks!

I guess what I want to decide now though, since I haven't yet made any purchases, is whether to bother with that extra step at all. I know you can get a lot of different kinds of *****, so maybe I'll hold off on that and get one that's less prone to heating up.
