I was lookin through the galleries and saw a couple people that had made their auto's look like stick shifts. They had a boot around it and like a steel shift ****. I was wondering if anybody knew how to remove that, and how to go about making it look stick?

okay there are two screws towards the bottom of your shifter. remove them the lever should move right up. then remove the center console . there's a diy about it somewhere. bsically you remover the PRNDetc piece. then buy the manual boot from honda & a razo shift **** not sure what number & a spring to hold the boot up to the ****. but yeah..that's how you do it.

but me i just got a **** & skipped the boot part.

Is this worth the 8 bucks, i'm not sure on the chrome...but if i can find it in gun metal, i think i'd buy it.

they make it in gunmetal... i have that same one. i paid 20 some odd dollars at summitracing.com. i like it. here's mine.

zwmichael

Alright thanks, i'll check it out. I think gunmetal looks a lot better. What were you saying earlier about needing a spring, is that for the boot?

yeah it holds the boot up to the **** so it doesn't fall down. but i didn't use the boot iwth this ****. it looks better without it. since it sits low in the stick.

eddie have you blacked out your parking reverse and drive on your shifter. if so explain =)

Method4

zwmichael

yeah, i'll proly just get the ****. But i'm also interested in how you blacked out your parking, reverse. etc.?

i dont know about anyone else, but when i put on the thing that holds the shiftboot up (that one from honda), i couldnt get the key out of my car. the reason is because theres a plastice piece in the front under the shiftboot, and if you have a thing that holds up the shiftboot, its going to hit it...thus, it will not full engage in park. but that only happened to me, i dont know about anyone else.

Method4

thats what he did to black them out

zwmichael

I don't think in this picture he is using the spring for the boot, and it looks alright.

Method4

yea looks pretty good, i dont think he is using a spring either.

zwmichael

It might be because the **** is so long, so there is much of a gap in between the boot and ****. I don't know...i'd like mine to look like that though.

Method4

what kinda shift **** is that?

zwmichael

razo, there like 60 bucks though

Method4

o... i think ile just stick with my stock one.

well you gotta take the center console apart. then take tha black piece off. so that little piece is freee. then get some acetone & rub it all over the back of it. to get rid of the letters. it isn't blacked out completely cause when y lights are on it lights up red with the rest of my interior.

ooo i see, Thanks
