What size shift knob did you order? 10x1.25 or 10x1.5? I also have an auto TL and I have been looking for a different shift knob, this is the first one I have seen that I would seriously consider buying.

^ 10x1.25 but it doesnt fit correctly. The auto threads are 2 mm smaller than the manual threads so it just drops on the shaft. check a few posts back, i explained that i had to custom rig a setup to get it install securely.

thanks for the compliments though, the knob is beautiful, it even comes in a little velvet bag!

Car looks sick...! I am thinking about getting the H&R Sport springs. I believe they lower the car 1.4 F and 1.3 Rear, which would make for an aggressive look.
Please post some more pictures after it has settled as I am interested in wha tthe final look is.
Also, how does it ride? much different than stock?

I like your style man...very nice transition from car to car keeping the same color and mostly rims. Do you just get bored of your cars? Or bad luck...crashes, deals too good to pass up....

Just get bored easily, or find something else i want more. Honestly, i was up in the air about trading the TL for a 2010 Shelby GT500, then reality kicked in and i wondered what the hell i was thinking! the TL is by far my favorite car i have owned with the exception to my 99 Si.

So that means the M8x1.25 should fit perfectly??

^ honestly...GREAT! Going from stock to the setup i have now, the car rides like a quiet, smooth piece of glass. It really is nice. Tire roar is less, less road vibration, it's really a nice setup. I couldnt be happier!
