I was thinking of putting in a 6 speed style center console just throwing on a boot i guess so it doesn't look aweful and having the ebrake relocated so that it is a handbrake...i have been thinking of this for a while, but haven't ever done anything with it.

probably quite a bit. You might also need the MT center console as well, instead of the standard AT console. I have no idea, just a thought
