auto shift ****?

So I am going to order one of those shift boots that cover the P, N, R, plate

and make it look like manual but are there better shift ***** relatively cheap that I can just easily take off my stock one and replace right on there?

for an auto 05 sedan. I just put CF overlay all on the dash like this dude did in his coupe http://i639.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/IMG_2071.jpg

any suggestions on a sweet shift **** for an auto 05?

yea the button is at the top, the shift **** looks nicely crafted it has chrome trimming in the middle and in between the chrome trimming there's a rubber material that matches the texture on the dash of the car. And on top of the button engraved it says "momo italy" Is a very classy looking shift ****

oh I know I saw pics very classy shift **** I still dont understand how something prob cost 15 dollars to make maybe we can pay 60 for 70 for it but 100 damnn. Maybe if the shifter had some crystals in it it could be 100 or 120 but damn. Im not saying im going to not buy it Im just wondering what about it costs 100 dollars. Im almost positive it does not cost them 60 or 70 to make meaning the mark up is like 500 or 600%

Just like anything else, because people are willing to pay for it. To be honest I'd be very surprised if it took them even 15 dollars to make that shift ****. I'm thinking more like 1/3 of that.

I wouldn't worry about it, if you like it, then get it. If you start worrying about the true value of everything you buy you're going to have a hard time justifying buying any luxury goods.

its not that I dont mind spending the money. Its just its so tiny and prob not noticeable difference to anyone but me. When I can spend that 100 on a front lip for my sedan which will be noticed by all while driving around and make my sedan look good. A front lip I would have no problem spending that on because It makes a bigger difference than a small tiny shift **** lol.

but oh well I guess

Lol every1 that sees your interior will notice the shift **** trust me. And the inside of your car is where you spend the most time. Is a little pricey but is worth it. Not too many shift **** options for automatics

check it out just putting that dash back together after putting the cf on it sorry pics taken with iphone. I think a momo shifter and a new shift boot will finish off this new overlay.
