So? You need something to cover the hole if you don't want to make it a plastic joystick like BMW does. Another option is covering it with a shield underneath like in pic, but it is less safe, because something can get into the slot and block the shifter or get that shield stuck.
>stupid ass zig zag pattern
It's not stupid, it's easier to shift without looking at the indicators with this thing. You have no chance to skip R and put it in N switching from P, for example.
>makes normshitters feel like theyre doing big things
So you must be an American. Nobody else can think of changing gears manually as "doing big things".
