I don't know where you get them or what they are called, but a few people on here have said they are fairly pants and make it awkward to change gear.

HTH :)

I agree with you there, I think they look good. Don't let anyone put you off too much if you really want to get one, go for it and see for yourself. Maybe you'll have a different opinion about them. :D

Right now where did I see those for sale?? :-k

They're called gear gates and Ferrari primarily use them to help you make sure you go into the right gear, as a new box is rather expensive from them.... #-o

Supposed to be a PITA for everyday use.
