Default About to buy some parts from Rick's and MUZ...

I am about to buy the following parts and was just wondering if anyone here has these and how well they work. I have heard nothing but good things about anything that Rick's has for sale but I just want another opinion.

Clear Side Markers (these are definite)
7/8 wind deflector (really want to know if this reduces the wind that much more)
voodoo shift knob (my friend said this was the best $30 he ever spent)

One other thing I am thing I am thinking of getting is the OEM convex driver side mirror from MUZ. What do you guys think of these products?

Dont be too rough on the side markers. The clear cover part on mine broke off so I had to super glue it back on.

I have all of these products in one form or another. They are all great!
Difference being, I have the full height windscreen, but the 7/8th would have been prefered. I also have the Voodoo Titanium magnum, but I had the Aluminum one before. Both felt about the same but I needed the Ti to help offset some vibration I got after the supercharger went on. The OEM convex mirror from Muz is a must (IMO).

I have the pearl voodoo knob and love it; gives the shifter a whole new feel. I got my clear sidemarkers from hardtopguy and they are great, no problems. I plan on getting the muz mats and the convex mirror next.

I've had my Polished Black Voodoo knob about 3 weeks now and I love it! It drops the shifter about an inch and adds a more aggressive feel IMO.

i like jdm sidemarkers versus the rick's version. no bash against rick's (awesome company), but i went through 3 that all had condensation after rain. my jdm ones from aj racing are still going strong.

new shifter's very tempting, though.

get a muz convez side mirror for SURE. expensive, but definitely worth it.

also, if you order from muz, don't get the 30-day world shipping..cuz it will really take 30 days.

I ordered the Pearl Magnum aluminium shift knob and never once regretted it. The only thing that bugs me these days is that I cannot get the shift boot to sit seamlessly against the bottom of the soft knob. That's not a problem with the shift knob though. The knob is a work of art

theres a how-to. .to keep your boot up. involves a metal washer under the boot.. it sits on the shaft just inder the knob, under the boot and since the shaft thickens it doesnt move down.
