I have a Razo shifter and it's hot as hell even if it's 80 outside. I had to change it back to stock just for the summer.

I have this one, in flat black:

It does get pretty hot, but not so much that I can't shift until I drive enough for it to cool down.. I have a black sock that doesn't have a mate and i'm going to cut the end off of the foot so i have a hood for it for this summer... Problem solved.. I love that weighted shift **** too dearly to give it up

Default shift **** heat

I have the speedstar mesh **** as well, with no tint mind you... It does get scorching hot on those 95+ degree days. So bad that I burnt my hand the first time the temp topped 90. One note... unless you're getting the short shifter don't buy the TRD leather ****, it won't fit right. The stock shift arm goes way up into that leather/plastic **** thing you get stock so if you attach the TRD **** you still see half of the shift arm sticking out of the boot... really ugly. Get an OBX and put something over it or go with something 3rd party like a Sparco or Razo.
