    Well I finally am getting rid of 8G fugly shifter.

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...3AIT&viewitem=

    Just got winning bid in. I believe charris and zobgel have same type of shifter looks so much better than our stock eyesore. Coming soon a shift boot possibly? Not sure I like my custom gear light even if I never look down to know what gear I am in.

    That is what zobgels looks like I like his idea with the Evo boot but Ive been taking alot of his ideas lately time for me to come up with one of my own. For now it will be on no boot.

    Well I found an online retail of parts that has stock parts. Every color option, leather options and all for the shifter. Unfortunately it's $70 for the knob but its factory part I believe.

    yes you need to bored out the shift knob and trim the white plastic inside your shifter then drill a hole both side to hold the knob.

    nice, i got mine for $120 shipped its beige and a real black wood grain

    Oh I thought that charris said the hole linedup. Your shifter looks really short did you trim it at all?

    yup,you need to cut the hole linedup on both side then trim the top part of the plastic.

    NOTE: to make it life easy just pull the white plastic then when you done cuting just push it down.

    -gud luck-

    a hole where on the shifter itself, insert or the knob?

    I am going to make a tut since these shifters seem to be getting more and more popular.
