haha i've had pedestrians on the street yelling "WTF THERES A MITSUBISHI ARNOLD??!" cant beat the laughter it brings

Rims were 17's on a dropped that has settled to tucking... =/

mud flaps were from hong kong, i think they were like $10 for set of 4

regarding the shiftknob... i had received many pm's from ppl who asked me how it works and what kind of knobs would work... i'll just post the answer here, but if you have any questions feel free to pm.

so basically ive tried 3 different knobs, all worked. None of the knobs had threads, they all came with sets of plastic spacers that suits different diameter rods. After taking out the OEM knob, you will see that the button on the original knob actually pressed vertically down a thinner rod that has a white cap on. You practically just have to slide the manual knob onto the rod; you'd have to press the entire knob down when you shift gear.

Yeah, I might give this a try also...so if I understand this correctly, your knob is not fastened on, it just slides up and down?

It sounds easy enough, but I'd be afraid to accidentally yank the knob off.

correct. I can take it out without any tools, thats why you would want a longer knob so it stays on better.

i had a RAZO knob on for a while, but it didnt look right because the rod is too long and the knob sits really high.

This one looks like my old one

Those two both look nice, but I don't know if I could justify spending almost $60 just on a shift knob. I'm gonna try to find something that looks similar just without the cost.

That is quite a lot for a shift knob, but very interesting enough. I might have to think about getting one of those, they do look nice and very unique.

if you're never gonna convert back to the original knob, there is one solution:
Cut the inner rod.
but remember: dont cut too much, you still need it to be long enough to travel downward and shift when pressed down.
minimum length will be to have the inner rod sit flush with the outter rod when pressed down.
