i would say go with the chrome, since your car has black interior, it would look too boring with almost everything black including the shift ****....

BTW: during the summer months when your car is in direct sun, the shift **** will get hot as a mother...i actually burned myself a little bit a few times.

I just picked up a momo-like shift **** with black fabric and chrome accents (the black sits on top of the shifter). After sitting in the sun, I can't grab the shifter normally...I hafta shift with the top of my fingers it got so hot.

put a heat reflector with under your front windshield...if you're too cool for that then put a shirt on your steering wheel and a handtowel on your shift ****...works perfect for me!

Yes sir... Im getting me a 20 AE shift ****... They're pricy but well worth it...
I honestly think its the best shift **** for maximas... My only problem is getting
a nice shift boot to match the leather on the AE shift ****..

i have an AE ****...... but it's so messed up you probably would barely recognize it as an AE ****. seriously, the quality on the AE ***** aren't so good. i'll try to put up some pics later.

I'd prefer the all-black "stealth" type look rather than have flashy chrome... but thats just me.
