Thanks for letting me know Austin. The knob looks great. Just out of curiosity, it looks comfortable to hold vertically, but is it awkward to hold just by grabbing the top? I honestly don't know how to ask that without sounding :ghey: It just looks like the shape would be awkward to hole from the top

But, dat water beading doe.

You can't really grab it like you can the stock one. This one, I put my thumb on top and wrap my fingers around the right side of it. I love the look but fitment isn't too great :/

That picture Tyler quoted alone has convinced me that I will be revisiting the ambient floor lighting, but I will go with those same strips you did. Very nice. Best set of pictures, is right...you're getting good, Austin.

I ordered these

http://www.vleds.com/strip-lights-le...ip-lights.html

In the dropdown box, look for 9 LED 6 inch strip. I didn't choose any of the adapters or anything, just the strips. When I ordered they didn't have all that, it was just strips and they came with probably 1.5" of wire attached to them already.

I had actually cleaned the interior yesterday, that's why I took the pics Glad you guys like the shots.

Pfft, I'm sure it could! I used a tripod and my 10-22mm for those interior shots.

I'm sure your pics would even be better

Yes, they have white strips.

The knob was from eBay, it's a Momo Evo. It's a PITA to install, you'll need an adapter to accomodate for the small shifter stick. This one is not a screw on like the OEM shifter.

Thanks!

The Momo will work but it't not a direct screw on like the OEM one. I'm sure if you typed into Google, "Honda/Acura shift knobs" you'll more than likely find something.

Daciss, the Momo shifter knob must be centered on the stick. There are 3 screws the must be screwed down evenly. So all 3 screws are threaded evenly.

Austin, how could the install of the shift knob that I installed be a PITA for YOU to install?

I actually had an old beat up Momo knob in the attic that I sacrificed the extra screw and plastic insert for. The reason it was a PITA for Austin is he bought it used and it was missing some key pieces. A NEW MOMO shift knob will likely have 3 plastic sleeves and all the set screws to hold in place, slide the plastic clip over and tighten all 3 screws down. Simple. Austin, I noticed on Sunday yours is loose again. I'd suggest you wrap the plastic insider in something else, or maybe cut a cheap pen with a dremel to make a smaller sleeve to go under...need to have a solid foundation to have the set screws grab.
