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

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?
