No deal. I like the classic and it hides the gauges.

Those shifters were called "horseshoe" shifters back in the 60's/early 70's. I think they are kinda cool. I've always been a muscle car fan and they are unique to the era.

$700, custom made to order. That picture is the proto-type the final piece was to have the PRNDS stack down the center. however, based on all of the "hate" I have read on multiple Camaro forums about it since 2011, I doubt they actually ever got past the proto-type stage.

My 1970 RS had one, and I thought it was very cool then. Not sure I'm liking it so much on the current Camaro though... ...it's all good. |

I've been thinkin about making one for our cars but adding a wayyyy better looking piece in bezel rather than that bubble. But I read so many threads where many werent in favor so I couldnt see making anything off of it.
I think its a cool look and idea but only if the grip of the horse shoe could be changed out or modernized with newer plastics/metals to match the car better

Manual guy here.
I wish it was still just a threaded stick with a ball on top. In fact, if I can figure out a way to modify the shifter in my 1LS, I'm going to find a nice machined aluminum ball to fit on it. Lightweight plastic shifters are lame. |

This is what I did to my automatic shifter. A friend of mine with a 2013 2SS manual calls it false advertising. I call it improved looks.
