Cascading Downwards: Flaming River Waterfall Steering Wheel

Friday, March 7th, 2008

Sometimes you have a lot to talk about with new products, sometimes you don’t. Like this steering wheel for example. It’s called the Waterfall; Flaming River makes it; it’s made of billet and has a leather wrap. That’s pretty much all we know about it. Oh, and it costs $398.50. Why the 50 cents, I […]

Slick and Classy Gauge For MKV V-Dubs

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

Even though I don’t yet own a VW, I still enjoy the classy design of the O-Pod, a vented gauge designed for the MKV Jetta and Rabbit as well as the GTI/R32. You can fit the O-Pod to any of the four air vents on the front dash — it still allows air to […]

Tow/Haul Included: Billetin’s Billet Column Shifter With Button

Friday, December 28th, 2007

For a long time, owners of 99-07 Chevy Silverados couldn’t install custom column shifters because most models lack the required tow/haul button located on the end of the stock shifter. Problem solved: Billetin’s introduced a shifter that includes the button, and it’s even billet aluminum, so it won’t stand out.

Race Vs. Safe: Custom Steering Wheels With Airbags

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

 
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to give up the safety of an airbag to install a custom steering wheel — or limit your creativity to only wheels which retain the factory air bag. Wheels like Raid Sport’s Airbag deliver the look and feel of a sporty custom and include a fully-functional airbag, too.

An LCD — In The Palm Of Your Hand

Monday, December 10th, 2007

Here’s a shift knob sure to improve your manual-shift experience time and impress your friends, too: the German company Gaslock’s Indy-Cator. It adds an LCD screen to the boring old shift knob, displaying what gear you’re in, all the way up to the magic number six.

A Death Grip Shifter Knob

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

This shifter might be as comfortable as iron maiden jockey shorts, but it’s still cool. The tips on it are rounded slightly so you don’t impale your hand every time you touch it, but other than that it reminds us of a mod you might find on the grim reaper’s ride.

Vintage Air For Your Vintage Ride

Friday, October 12th, 2007

The resto-mod craze is in full swing, folks, and air conditioning is at the top of any southern-dweller’s “mod” list. Vintage Air has more or less defined the category of vintage air conditioning systems, because until they came along you were more or less stuck hacking up your interior (and firewall, too) to install a […]

Will Give Up A/C For Boost (Indicators)

Friday, October 5th, 2007

Seeking a home for that aftermarket boost gauge in your late model turbocharged VW or Audi? AWE Tuning are the originators of the vent-mounted boost gauge — or so they claim. Regardless, you can’t argue with their elegant execution and quality design. They start with a CAD application to create a replacement HVAC vent that […]
