Took mine off using a heat gun. Let it sit on the bottom of the stock shift knob for like 5 mins then wrap a towel around the knob and twist it off. It is on there with a good amount of glue

thats awesome ! you and my wife would be a pair she is a pink freak ! she bought a nissan cube ( tried to talk her into a jku ) but she wants pink racing stripes , and pink zebra stripe seatcovers . back in the early 90s when minitrucks and neon colors were popular she talked me into doing pink highlights on dash vents and console and alot of underhood stuff too . im a fan !

Gurl, you had best show us a picture of that bling shift knob. From your description, I have something from Dollywood in my mind.
