^^^ bad idea, you'll block airflow to the oil coolers. Not good...

idk if this'll be too much, but how about with the illumination shift **** that will glow the number that the gear that the car is in....for example if you're in 6th it'll only glow 6, and when you put it in neutral it'll glow all of them? im fine with a normal illuminated shift ****, i just thought it would be cool, and id have to agree with elcolombiano....different colors.

^^ tht'd be bad *** but it would make install a fair bit more complex as well as desgin and cost. the only feasible way i would know of to create a circuit that would illuminate based on gear selection would be to have multiple sensors in place under there

There is already something like that--uses an accelerometer to try and guess which gear you've shifted into most recently. Doesn't work too well from what I've ready. Personally, I would rather listen to the engine and look at the tachometer on ocassion.

how about a decent coat hanger?
maybe it goes through the rotor hole in the seat, or it extends from the baby harness in the back?
i'm an industrial designer so i am willing to share some thoughts.

:( traded in my 8
and another vote for the SS cap over the e-brake button. The silver paint or whatever it is on mine is starting to peel off.
Thanks.

I would like to second the SS cap over the e-brake button. I had an 04 that the silver paint bubbled, and that was a replacement from warranty issue, and I just got a 05 shinka that has the same problem. I am all about appearance. and the cap over the shifter **** really cleaned up the abuse the jackass before put on the shifter ( and much cheaper than a new shifter ****). Are two votes enough for a production run?

Has anyone mentioned different sun visors? Perhaps in carbon fiber? ![Big Grin](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Those stock perforated sun visors are just not my cup of tea, I kinda hate how they let in some light when my intentions are to block it out completely. Even it its just an overlay, I'd love to see something like that.

You guys should add more of the 'Before - After' pictures so people really see the difference and what it will look like. And when you change the color of bulbs you wanna buy, the pictures change to the same color as well.

But I would like to see the illuminated shift ****, but not just in red, I have blue interior lights. footwell lights. and custom cupholder lights. I would love a blue shifter to match.
Maybe a flying "M" emblem as well, because some of us want one, but don't want to mess up the one emblem we have trying to cut it...

Hey ok so how about this, since yall deal with alot of lights etc.
Me and a few members around the area have been thinking about a LED light strip or rope that you can affix with 3M double sided tape inside your fender fents and shines out when you turn on your headlights... for example you'll have blue coming out shining through the fender vents at night,the power source can come from the clear corners... anyone like the idea because id love for someone to make a kit for it...
