I have some bad scratches on the upper left corner of the gate trim around the auto shifter. I was wondering if anyone knows if they make a carbon fiber overlay that goes on the gate? The part circled in red in pic:

 

You could always take it off and re-paint it.

 

I would do this: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...211&highlight=

which is what I did From this:

Get KPIscion to do the carbon patterntek on it. Just that little extra trim would compliment the shift **** and tie it into your theme.

 

z-lite, that's a superb mod!

rhino, I just might have to look into that, but I am not keeping the shift **** CF style...

 

That is the exact mod I'm about to do on my car, just different boot/****. Boots are ordered as is ****, I'm just nervous about taking apart my interior by myself, but eh, learning experience. I see no need to pay anybody to install boots for me (**** is a snap).

ilovemytc's link to that CF looking **** is going to be so sexy (I hope anyways) with my CF boot (with charcoal thread from redlinegoods). I'm definitely posting a pic when they get in.

 

^ooo, that sounds nice! Please post up pics when you get it all installed!

 

Totally planned. If you're looking at the different fabrics there at redline goods, the ones that seemed (to me anyways) to most look stock were the black leather and the black CF (and I'm glad I paid to get the samples, made it easier to choose and visualize the thread differences). From looking at their pics, it looked like charcoal was a better match, to give you an idea of things.

 

i just ordered my black leather shift boot and ebrake cover with silver stitching from redline, and also ordered the obx wire mesh shift **** like the one in the picture above

 

will this conversion still look about the same, using redlinegoods shift boot, but same shift ****

 

I got Redlines eBrake boot and it fit perfect.......some great quality too....if you do the shift boot they have a lot to pick from the black with charcoal piping would look awsome

 

i was thinking on the black w/ cilver threading

 

Nice mod, but wouldn't it just be easier to just buy a manual in the first place. Not to mention 800 dollars less for the car.

 

I don't think it is to mimic a manual tranny car.........for decades hurst shifters have had a bootie on them.........manual and auto............it really is just another way to dress up the interior.

 

did anyone who ordered the shift boot from redline and uses the obx speedstar shift **** have the shift boot ordered 1inch or 1.5 inches small than normal?

 

that looks awesome..i am doing that

 

nice man
