I recently traded my Pro-5.0 shifter and Hurst white knob to a buddy for some parts and his stock shifter and knob. I'm planning on ordering an MGW shifter, but can't decide what kind of knob I want. Do you guys like this one? I really like it for some reason. I just don't know if it would look right in a fox. Opinions???

I use them and sell them regularly. Not the Hurst but that style. I personally like it to the point that I keep a spare so if I am racing a customers car, I can have it on the stick for my comfort. My hands sweat alot and that allows a tighter grip so I don't bust my knuckles.

I have heard a lot of good things about the MGW shifters.

Not feeling it. Makes the shifter look like it belongs in a pick up truck IMO

Yeah I gotta agree with that one. Mine was like that too but it doesnt take long for it to cool off.

I boycot ANY hurst products, and I don't care for the "pistol grip" style at all. It is different to see one in a fox--and it is for a good reason, you don't see pink wheels on many foxes either.....
Just my .02, you asked.:thumbsup1:

Thanks for all of the opinions guys. I think I'm going to go with one just to change up the look from the regular leather and white knobs you see all of the time... Pics will be coming when I get it on and buy my MGW. :)

id just make sure the color matches well. im running a B&M t-handle knob with red around the emblem in the top to match my porno red interior lol. as long as you can make it fit and you like it, who cares what anyone else thinks..
