that's a good looking specimen. Looks better than mine did. Def. get a different knob tho, I hate how that one feels at hand

yeah, it is kinda blah. Want to find something nice and heavy, but not overdone.
I wonder if that wood grain can pull off, I so, I could just sand and paint the trim pieces satin black.. hrmmm

Mine came with this one:
looks awesome in the car even if mine doesn't have all the wood-trim stuff (that you like so much) yours has got lol. Excellent weight, feels right in the hand, and looks sharp
~Andrew

OK, so old white paint is hard as fuck to clean. She's going to need a compounding, polishing, and waxing.. oh joy!
EDIT 3-24:
Notice how filthy the lower panels are, where the rock guard is installed?
