Little big but I like it. I'd paint it black to match the grill, it would be a subtle touch.

Would it look better if it was body colour and on the hood just over top of the grill?

Got it off Ebay. Was actually looking for a smaller one, but this was the only one I could find that actually screw on at the back rather than using adhesives. Thought about putting it on the hood as well, but would have to get one with adhesive on the back and I am not too keen on sticking anything on the hood, plus the hood curves in the middle ... anyway, just got it for fun ...

Big Transformers fan myself, I have a decal on my windshield, but I don't like that for some reason. Maybe have to see it in person.

Creative and original though.

Very cool, I like it. Funny how some of the old guys are like "hmmmmmm, don't really like it".

I always applaud those who add their own peronality or creative touches. Obviously there will be some people who don't feel for the look... but you're not trying to please other people.

That would have been me. I'm glad that it fits, although VERY surprised. Our threads (for the MT, at least) are definitely 10x1.25...

I asked the seller, he said it fits 10x1.25, don't know why it says 12 in the post.

I also inquired about a group buy, I might run it if there's some interest.

Well, if 06Touring3 says that it fits as well, I have no reason to not believe it. It's possible it's just a typo, who really knows.

Yeah it fit without any sort of problems....it comes with a "locking nut"...i'm not entirely sure what it's for but i didn't use it and have no problems wiht the knob

LockOut

The locking nut is just so that you can adjust the height of the knob... or to line up the gear pattern (or Autobot logo) so that it's straight. You probably just bottomed out on the knob as opposed to the shifter, and they lined it up so that it was straight to begin with.
The locking nut also makes the knob almost impossible to get off without a wrench...

very nice.. now if somebody could take the image of your car and make it transform into a real robot.. now that would be cool..

I dig it... but do agree it would look best in black... or dark grey. Subtle touch instead of a standout mod.

guess it's the old school transformers version ... stands out more, the ones in the new movie are much more subtle

^ cool, would have looked better if the font was a tad smaller, but otherwise neat stuff
