Red shiftknob red lettering

One morning I woke up.. and I found this in my mailbox!!

so I was really excited and quickly went to my car to switch it.

Before

In process of

After

couple of days later I wasn't "feelin" the Razo shiftknob.. So I got a GSR Shiftknob and stuck it on.. but I've always wanted the Red lettering.. so I thought of an idea.. I took a crayon and a lighter.. filled in the lettering with the crayon and melted it down with the lighter.... and wabam!

Heres an update of the shiftknob as of 1/1/06. None of the crayon wax has come off yet

Yeah thats the only downside to it, but I can always redo it, it only took about 10-15minute.
