You might need a glove. Acura Integra metal shifter + scorching temps = ouch. #acura #acuraintegra #integra
Transcript- So I'm in the new Acura Integra, and it is smoking hot outside. And this has a six-speed manual transmission, which means it has this lovely metal piece on the top.

Back when I owned an Acura TSX with a very similar shift knob, I used to keep a baseball batting glove in the glove box in order to prevent me from scorching my hand when it was hot. You'd have to do the same with the Integra. But again, I think it's better than just a plain blah plastic shift topper, or all leather. So maybe it's worth the pain.
