Custom Shifter

Hello Everyone.

I am new to the forum, and wanted to thank everyone (Especially Ben at AJ Racing) for all the help I have received. I have ordered some parts to begin making my Fit unique, and am excited that I have a great car.

Today I finished installing a custom shifter which I thought some of you might find interesting. It is a Blue Pearl shifter that ... surprise... lights up. I thought it was really cool. Let me know what you think.

custom shifter

I am glad you all like the shifter. The place I got this one from is called Flameball. Here is a link to the web site: http://www.flameball.com/Pearl/Series.htm

The shifters come in different styles and colors (Mine is the blue pearl).

Enjoy.

The installation takes about 5 minutes, and then however long for youu to wire the light up. Instructions are included. What is not included, which I recommend is the following:

- Blue Loctite for threads (do not use the red one since it is permanent)
- wire strippers
- Pliers

I actually did not wire my light directly into the Fits electrical system, I wanted to control the light independant of the Fits lights.

I got a 9V battery box and power it with a 9V battery and rigged a switch to turn it on and off. This way I can control it independantly of the Fit's lights.

Let me know if you need any more info.
