    Tall shifters are for looks. IMO, they are a ridiculous, self-defeating fashion statement not much better than wearing pants that sag below the bottom of your butt. I think it's time to update my signature, since so few drivers have CBs and antennas these days.
     
    Bud A., RockinChair, bzinger and 5 others Thank this.

    I don't think it's nothing wrong with it... I don't want a tall shifter but I not gonna hate on what someone thinks is cool... I love cars that are slammed to the ground with airbags... But most ppl think it looks stupid.. I can appreciate the time it takes to build custom stuff and have respect for anything custom, regardless if I like the look or not myself.

    Like many things, some do it just because they can.
