Thoughts on illuminated shift ****

was thinking of getting this ICT Mazda RX8 Shift Gear **** 100 Leather Gaiter Illuminated LED Best Quality | eBay

anyone have any thoughts on them or know of another one that may be better, I recently bought a razo but I just don't like it looking for something else it's either an illuminated one or im gonna buy a stock one. I would post this in the shift **** thread but im still under new member rules

This is ugly. If it's the stock **** with illuminated numbers, go for it. But not this man.

Yeah i would say that's a no-go.

But I have seen people illuminate the OEM one. Not really my style or what I want to send my money on but I think it might be sort of cool.

I ended up buying the gear **** and gaiter from ICT and really like it. The gear ****, stitch colour, finish, and LED choice is all customizable on their website to suit your style. I chose Model 3 with an aluminum finish and blue stiching. The gaiter fits perfectly in the original frame and the total time to install was about 30 minutes. I wired the LEDs to my seat heater backlight so that the gear **** illumination switches on with my lights

Here it is installed. No haters please
