I wondered why the PO had wrapped the shift lever in black tape... he was generally pretty meticulous about updates and modifications, and it seemed kind of out of character. Now I can picture him driving around California squinting, then breaking out the roll of tape at the RV park...
Maybe if I ever take the steering column apart I'll actually paint it... (though I wonder if it's easier to just take off the knob and slide a piece of heat-shrink tubing over the shaft).

I keep a paper towel tube on mine when parked to remind me to check hatches, hoses, tires, etc before departing. i also use it to block the glare as I only have 2 socks.

Remove shift knob. Slide a piece of black (or your choice of colors) heat shrink tubing over shift lever and gently apply heat. Covered forever. Slice off with razor knife when you no longer need it. Very cheap and fast.

Now I know what to do with all the one sock missing in a pair the dryer eats. I'll sell my socks on ebay as gear shift covers.
