Default It is solid, not enough room even for the LED's. I will need it machined down some. How small do

they make Peltier's? That would be cool (or hot, or either... guess it depends on how you wire it!)...

Cool idea...I would guess venting the heat created from the other side would be the challenge

Default No parts list yet...probably after the install this weekend.

You will need to turn the shift pattern out of you s-line **** it does not just remove.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1402017.phtml">First Post</a></li></ul>

Default Any reason you didn't put the LEDs on the outer ring, to try for a more even backlighting?

Guess that's where the heating element went, though, right?

Default Yup, you'd have to drill through and vent through the shift boot or something... Things can get

complicated pretty quick, can't they?!

Default I went the same way, with the cold

in the winter I couldn't handle my race 3 raffi know so I sold it. As soon as I went back to stock I knew I made a mistake.

I called raffi up and bought a Comp I and it's not near as cold as the all metal ones.
