Installation: I’ve done a few other cosmetic mods (the very popular TT valve stem mod, rubber floor mat mod, and the trunk liner mod), but this is a bit more substantial. I didn’t take any photographs during the installation, but here is the result

Evaluation: The knob is a bit shorter than the OEM knob. I really like the clean look and it matches the interior very well.

Long Term Impressions: (28 December 2006) I like this more now that ever. The quality is holding up well – machined aluminum would take a great deal of abuse.
