If you go to Steeda.com and click on "drivetrain" you can see the knobs. I got the polished. The shifter is 149 w/out knob, 169 w/. The knob by itself is 25 Or here for $148 w/knob http://wakeperformance.com/product_info.php/products_id/572 Your choice of black, blue, or red knobs.

Everyone was out of stock and would need to re-order them. Each place said that since Steeda raised the price they would have to also. Each place wanted to charge the same as Steeda so I just oredered mine right from Steeda. SOLD Polarg M-28 super bright white bulbs. Replace yellow stock license plate bulbs. See add in classifieds.

Reality is 4300k HIDs should provide the best light output. Perception is that 5000k appears whiter and brighter. Reality is that the Steeda should be provide shorter throws. Perception is that the Steeda provides no difference in throws over the B&M. As stated previously: 1) people who have had both (including myself) claim to feel no difference between the throw distance of the B&M and Steeda 2) no one who has tried both has said one feels better than the other as far as throws Until you have tried and used both, don't make claims to know what you really don't.

This will create the shortest throwing shifter available. Mark who me? Before: After: sorry about the crappy pic weld: NY State Trooper: So what makes your car so special to have SVT all over it?

Probably not, but the firmer feel of the aftermarket shifter alone is worth it. "...first he's gonna s*!t, then he's gonna kill us." 1999 Contour SVT Retrojunk.com

I picked it up used and welded from Conor7Seven for 70 bucks with the knob, the boot, and it already in the housing for the shifter. It took 10 minutes to put in Id say this should be a definite mod for anybody who wants to either shift faster and smoother or actually change the radio when in third or fifth

I don't know how accurate that will be as I believe Elky has a 13 oz shift knob, and that should effect the shifting as I recal it was a very short throw - 95 Mystique LS - Zetec/5spd - 99 Contour SeVT Sport - Duratec/5spd Official NE-CEG Contour/Mustang Family
