Does anybody have the golf ball shifter from vw drivergear? If so do you like the way it feels?

golf ball shifter?

www.dynamicmotorworks.com has it for $149. I don't know much about it except it looks smooth.
I can't believe people actually like the looks of that thing. I'll leave that for the kids to play with. As far as ergonimocs go, I would assume that the golf ball shifter is not as comfortable to hold as the stock one. The stock one's designed to fit your hand as to where the golf ball one reminds me of shifting an old pick-up truck. Not to mention it looks like a Pep Boys mod. Sorry guys, I just don't get people considering "demodding" their cars. Because there's no way that thing has an advantage. It's just a cheesy gimic mod and a serious waste of money (period).
(Note to self) Hope I don't get harped on for this one.

It's actually a traditional piece from the originals. It has more weight to it and the shifts feel a lot smoother, and easier to "flick it" into gear. I want one....badly.

I really like the look of it, and i'm pretty sure its the way the 5 speed from the mk1 GTI's looked. Only thing is, its really expensive for a shift nob.

I prefer the look of the stock shifter a lot more above that of the golf ball shifter. I wouldn't even install that golf ball shifter in my GTI for all the money in the world.
Hopefully the Rabbit will come out with a rabbit shaped shifter that you rabbit owners can buy. Wouldn't that be awesome? Then maybe the Ford Mustang will come out with a horse shaped shifter that 5.0 fans can put in place of theirs too. That would be so cool. Even those wouldn't be as nice as a Dodge Neon that had a neon glowing CF ball to shift with.
Lets just hope this Golf ball trend thingy really takes off.:bellyroll:

It's whatever plastic they use on the old ones and then metal where the boot connects but there's no metal ring on the top that heats up and makes a red ring in your hand on a hot summer day... haha
Not that it's the hottest place in the world here, but we see 100-105 in the summer from July-August :thumbdown:
