My stock **** deteriorated quickly after i bought the car (i get clammy hands when i drive fast lol ) so i bought a machined aluminum ****, love it except when it sits in the sun and heats up and then you forget about it and grab it. not fun.

Have you thought about S4/RS4 style *****?

you forgot to mention how cold they get in the winter.......especially if you don't have the benefit of warming up the car. Winter was the only time I regretted putting that damn thing on!!

Gloves man! I always keep a pair on my dash in winter. Not only do you stay toasty, but you feel like some badass "Red Baron" driver putting them on. All you need is a leather jacket and goggles.

Tried them once, I felt too much like the Transporter, not that that is such a bad thing, but I still felt like a schmuck driving a Porsche.
