    Why are these gate shifters so good? Looks like it would be a pain to change from 2nd to 3rd as well as shifting from say 2nd to forth etc. Is it actually different in reality? Or is this more a bling mod?

    You saw them on the Episode of Top Gear where they buy Italian Supercars for under 10,000 pounds, and all 3 cars died before they reached their destination, then?

    I'm with mtentori.. Leather looks better.. :D

    Maybe, I've also seen them in Diablo's, Gallardo's, F40's to name a few. If you don't like them that's fine. Leather looks great and probably suits a Zed better, but I also like the pure style of metal the gate.

    Oh No! Don't get me wrong, I like the metal gates, just not on the Zed :)

    So it is just a bling factor? No performance reason to fit these?

    I actually quite like this bling, although its bling!

    For me- I love it.Each to their own I suppose. Still hunting where I could get one. No clues yet.

    This doesn't look very good IMO. I think a nice leather would would look nicer, even in the galardo. Or one of those Razo units.

    Yeah, but it's tradition now, they can't change it after 50 years...

    Yeah, it does kinda look dated. I guess they didn't have the manufacturing techniques back then they have now.

    I think it looks pretty tacky a plain black leather one would look much better
