jaybertx Congrats on the car,that color is SWEEET. Tinting the windows should keep your shift knob cool enough. No need for a sock. Now if you lived in a cold weather state you'd need a sock to keep your fingers from getting frost bite! Kind of a non-issue in Florida.
I've had no shift knob issues as of yet but then I park in a garage at work and the garage at home. I have a couple of micro fiber towels in the car in cast it gets too hot! I got the tint installed today and will have a detail session in the morning but then will take some newer pictures with the tint. It just looks WICKED with the tint. Love it!!
