Default Tinted Windows, Sunshade

I have my windows tinted and use a sunshade in the front window. I have never experienced the shifter branding.

Default I have a sun shade and it doesn't do jack diddy for cooling the aluminium bits.

It's the ambient heat inside the car that burns me down here in F-L-A.

IF you guys would stop dragging Denny to every little po dunk town in the northeast with statuary on weekends maybe she could knit those gearshift covers that she talked about last year!

Default Agree, I always cover mine when parked and it still gets hot

Heat is obviously transmited from the body or transmission and up the shifter shaft. If it really bothers you, try a leather or wood aftermarket shift ****. Just be glad you don't have the "branding iron" all metal shifter in the S2000.

You know you live in the desert if wearing oven mittens while driving seems like a good idea.

I put the microfiber bag for my Oakley sunglasses over it. It's like a shift **** condom!
