Yes, yes, yes...but how easy/difficult is the voodoo to install? Any pictures for the word impaired?

I live in Texas and it's pretty hot in the summer. When I had the stock aluminum knob on it was quite hot. Unbearably hot. With the titanium voodoo knob it's hot, but not as unbearably hot as the stock knob. Or is it just me...

DeeGYM Thanks...
Interestingly, I wear a Titanium watch and found that it weighed considerably less than the Stinless Steel version. I also read that Titanium is prefered as a metal for its inert? reaction to skin and human tissue (hence its use in the medical sector). I don't know why, or I can't expalin it but I find that it doesn't heat up, or cool down as much as other metals (i.e. as cold as stainless steel or gold watch on a cold morning). Maybe its just me!

Would have thought that denser might mean heavier? I've read somewhere on the forum the debate about dense vs. heavier, vs. lighter, etc...and though fascinating it can at times be quite confusing. Question, does Titanium corrode, or oxidizes?
Did you know that American Architect Frank Gehry used Titanium panels on his recent masterpiece the Guggenheim Museum in Blibao Spain? Apparently he loved the pinkish (?) tint that the metal took under the evening daylight lighting conditions of that city. Check it out at the following sites:

or do the google search...

So, the Ti knob is heavier than the Al? I was thinking about getting a Voodoo knob and getting it powdercoated black, so I saw no sense in getting the Ti one, but if the extra weight is beneficial, then I might recionsider. Just seems a shame to cover up that finish....
Also, would it be pointless to get the shift pattern engraved If I were going to powdercoat it, or is the engraving deep enough that it'd still show?

VoodooBob - I just got the spun aluminum knob from Rick and I think it's great!! However, with the notchiness of the transmission in the '02, will the heavier Titanium knob counter some of that notchiness due to having more mass?
Also, are there any e-brake levers in the same aluminum for the S2000 like the one on the Miata I saw on your site? Thanks in advance.
