I know it doesn't match the rest of the dash but it feels 10x better than the light plastic shift ****. I really like how it actually has some weight to it and doesn't feel like an insignificant part.
Maybe I'll give the wood a darker stain to blend in a bit more.

 

Huh interesting. It's definitely different from what I've seen haha

 

Sweet! I think that's pretty cool. Definitely unique. Not my cup of tea but still, it's pretty cool!

 

Nice...good job and unique...

 

Do you have the bamboo dash trim? It might match and look like it was meant to be ...

I have the bamboo trim and like it. At first I thought it looked a little out of place in the black interior but I like the whole green feel to it.

 

I actually don't have the bamboo dash trim I am thinking of staining the wood a bit darker so that it doesn't stand out as much. I like the feel of it more so I'm not concerned about the looks right now

 

aw that would be epic. bamboo trim to match! Do it! Do it! Do it!

 

you can always paint the wooden part black or something. with a good plastidip of some other type of paint
