Default Flameball Shifter **** in C3

Has anyone bought a Flameball (www.flameball.com) shifter **** and installed it in their C3? I'm thinking of getting one (the Flame 5 model - red/black) but would like to hear feedback on how they look in a C3. Thanks.

I think it would look cool in a black interiored car but I wish they made a chrome/stainless ball with the flame milled into it. That would really be cool! :cool:

I found these on the internet four years ago, and bought one at the Turkey Rod Run at the Daytona Speedway from a vendor. I had hoped to be one of the first on the block, but the rebuild is taking way too long for that. We'll still use it, though, with a on/off switch for individual control at cruise nights, etc.

How do you know it will fit on the stock shift arm? The reason I am asking, I once tried to put a differetn **** (not one of those) on mine and it would not fit.

Those look nice.
I'm thinking black with chromalusion flames on the body.
A matching shifter **** would be a nice touch.
I'm just worried about going overboard with flames.

I'm game..they look fun...How could we tell if they fit though??? Hey I know...someone buy one ;) and let us know...

You know, I've bought a few for other cars and they came with adapters, however with that one, I would think it may be a little more difficult because of the trasparent look...Who knows...but if you do, let us in :)
