Shift trim reflects sun

[lumper]

It's definitely not the gloss black for me. I'm not a huge fan of gloss black either, but that's not what catches the sun and throws it right back in your eye, it's the metal around the shifter.

As I mentioned it's not as much of a problem in the Type S as it is for other vehicles, but it does happen occasionally. Getting the windshield tinted helps immensely too.

As for the alcantara console, I would have bought one a while ago but they were out of stock and didn't want to bother with shipping mine off for a couple weeks, and even now I don't think I'll get one if they're in stock as a replacement because my OCD can't reconcile the lack of double-stitching. I would like to do something about the gloss black but until a double-stitched alcantara or something other than faux carbon fiber is available, it'll stay gloss black.

It smudges easily but doesn't bother me as much as I feel like it should. Somehow mine has survived 6k miles and the type of driving many would consider abuse, and still doesn't really have the type of scratches people like to complain about all the time.

just a heads up, they always keep a handful in stock, off the site for people who email them, I know because I emailed asking when they would be back in stock, and he shipped one right out for me.
