thanks

no, no pic of it lit so far. It looks very cool though, there is a Cap to lower the brightness, if you take it off it's hella bright

That's nice. However, for people that actually take their car to the track, it helps...

Don't the Zs come with a light built in that blinks when you're getting close to shift time? I know mine does.

Its a cool idea but to me i think its a bit busy . I just want once light ,i see it and shift ,i think to many things going on will be distracting. But ,it is a bad a$$ shift light ,if you dig it ,hook it up .........all that matters in your car is how you feel ABOUT IT!

looks ok but i would have put it in the AC vent or somewhere hidden. Looks out of place on a sports car in the open if you ask me.
