Default Pool ball shifter knob mod!

Finally decided i had enough of my stock shifter knob so i decided to make my own out of a pool ball. It came to me one night while playing a game of pool, the #5 ball is exactly the same color as my jeep! So here it is.

I just took all kind of drill bits untill i reached 1/2in and then worked it from there to make it snug and tight so it doesnt move at all.

I couldn't tell by the picture, but it looks like you have a stick. Mines auto, may not be the same. I'm sure it's on this forum somewhere.

Yeah its a stick. I may be wrong but I think that if there is no button on the shift knob, it may come out the same way. Im pretty sure I saw that at the auto show, they always remove shift knobs. And yeah the "factory sticker" is a little addition of my own. "Double safety airbag check", got it off ebay.
