Well it's pretty ironic...what I thought was going to be an 1 hr small project took about 10 hrs. More Labor than I anticipated on Labor DAy weekend

When I got my interior done, my interior guy made me a shift boot out of nova suede and orange stitching so I can use it whenever I wished.

Thought would be a nice lil project to put it on my car. Bought an 05+ 6mt console from tecni so I went to work this weekend converting mine to use the boot. It involived various cutting and sanding in many areas and was definitely a PITA to do

yah yah yah, I know some will not like it, I don't have a 6mt, why be a "poser" and pretend right? Well It's not to make it look like a 6Mt...rather...it's because it matches the theme of my interior better and serious......the stock "P R N D" in big round letters look kinda lame

Here are the end results: Worth it?

Before:



AfteR: (excuse the overexposed pix, it was in darkness with flash on.

 

the aluminum part is removeable.......so when I get tired of it not matching anything.......i'll probably spray it piano black like the rest of the console.

 

I want to do this "wanna be 6mt" mod also :P

looks nice. When people look it will be oh cool you got a manual! lol

wait what? wheres the clutch!

 

Looks good man.

People can ask... "is that a 6mt?"

And you say... "yeah...SIKE!"

lol me likey. I think our cars that are auto should have a manual look to them.

 

Looks much better for sure

 

Nice job Aaron!

 

That looks pretty good.

Now your a wannabe6mt haha

 

It looks good, especially the matching suede to your interior. Your interior = SICK.

 

nice! I wish this could be done for 05+

 

lol .. wow i really like it .. thats awesome ..

the wok dish looks kinda funny . but not in a bad way .. lol

 

I have aluminum pedals on my brake pedal, that's the "clutch



Yeah I agree, even the 05+ sedan and coupes have that mini shift boot to them.

thanks dawg

thanks dawg #2

no, I don't wanna be you

thanks dawg #3

yeah dawg #4, I remember you wanted to do this to your interior but found out it's impossible for the 05+ G's

Just cuz I'm asian, it's gotta be a wok? YU WASIS! it's my cereal bowl, now if I'm on the go, I can eat cereal in my car! Or I can eat Chow mien in my car huh, maybe shrimp fried rice? HAHAHAAHAH

 

Looks great

If anyone wants a custom shift boot made hit up Locksmith(member here) Custom fit to your AT or MT.

Look good man, I like the dish. I am going to install mine and see how I like it and then maybe add a dish later on.

You care to make a Video DIY on how to take the shift console out? I'm going to have to do it when my boot and know get here and I don't know where to start!

 

I'll help you out when you get it. Don't know about making a video though LOL
