I didnt vote yes but like i said it isnt as awful when in the car. Its not for me though. I have an after market t-handle shifter i use and i think it looks better than stock. ( http://www.mgwltd.com/mustang_t-handles.html ) Mine says Cobra on it. Tacky or no?? Although i may try this one here with the six speed emblem on it. http://www.mgwltd.com/mustang_race_knob.html

I have the door lock knobs and the valve stem covers. I like them and the valve stem covers match perfect with my cobra r rims. Of course I show my car mostly rather than go FOR NOW.

The T shifters arent tacky, but for the daily driver they look out of place, of course thats just my opinion. My reason for the thinking the T shifter looks out of place is because it looks like it belongs in those stripped down purpose built dragsters, rather than a semi sophisticated street beast. Like I said though, dont let my opinion bother you, thats just what I think, but I also think if thats what your happy with then thats what you should have.

OMG that is freaken hidious!!!!! Put a 357 to my head and I may put the shifter on. But the wheels I'd rather jump off a bridge than drive around with those.

Who would design crap like that

A guy with a 99 Cobra where I live has that shifter knob on his car. I about threw up when I saw it. Then my eyes traveled to the Cobra door locks, then to the Cobra valve caps, then to the extra unecessary SVT and Cobra badges all over the car, then to the "FEAR THIS" sticker on the trunk, then to the NOS sticker right next to it...

Poor car... :(

I've seen these Cobra bling things at AutoZone in their "Fast and Furious" aisle. Right next to the neon license plate frames.

I voted no.
