I bought mine from riversideinfiniti and just swapped them out. Looks a lot better, Good luck finding a 5AT shifter

 

Yes I think the shifter for the auto is 200$, are there other options
out there like Nismo or Momo...

My intirior is all pretty much black so the silver would be a nice upgrade..

I did the same swap in my 03, wood caps >> silver caps. I had to buy them from Riverside Infiniti, I think I paid about $87 for all 4.

I also swapped the bulky 03 wood shifter to the silver 05 shifter, paid about $150 shipped from Riverside.

 

wood is hideous, lol, id never rock wood

jon!

 

Hey Steve, what does the 05 shifter look like.

Thanks
GBoy

 

The wood is plastic, right, Plastic can be sanded and painted right
so was wondering if anybody ever tried it....I guess I'm a recycler
kind of guy...

excellent thinking my man

jon!

 

The difference between the 03-04 shift **** and the 04.5-06 shift **** is huge. The 03-04 shift **** you have is a lot bulkier and the button is on the side. Very fugly design IMO. The 04.5 and newer shift **** is more compact, and the button is on the front. It looks 100 times better, and feels better in your hand...feels closer to a manual shift ****.

Here are some pictures to compare the two *****. BTW, if haven't already seen my interior mod thread, check this out https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-sedan-v35-2003-06/188322-2003-sedan-center-console-upgrade-fx-shift-panel-shift-knob-titanium-paint.html

 

ya that is a big difference looks much better

 

Yes it looks much better, does it come in black leather...

GBoy

 

though the wood isn't plastic... but still paintable,

 

Yep, comes in beige and black. You might want to look around the Marketplace sections for a used 5AT shift ****, or perhaps eBay.

 

Hey Steve, would the Krylon Fusion paint hold up..

GBoy

 

I think so. All I can say is that the center console in our G looks good after a few months of use. Now, the wear and tear on the shift **** will be more than on the center console, so I can't say for certain that it won't wear down after 6 months or a year of use. But its pretty solid stuff. I'd recommend cleaning the part well with alcohol before painting, and after painting it maybe place it inside of an oven at the lowest setting (warm) for 30-45 minutes to help it cure. It takes about a week to fully cure.
