Dude shake them haters of!!! I agree it does look kinda high but for the trouble and money I think you should just live with it... i would look good but I doubt anyone would notice. I like your way of thinking... remember details get you remembered!!!!

I'll photoshop it for ya later today. I'm actually thinking of doing a 3d model of the tC and then making.... parts for it. It'd be like the one on the scion site, but with aftermarket mods instead of factory ones.

If i can finagle it right, it shouldnt be too much money to convert. It will definately take some time to do all the planning and doing, but I dont care. Imgoing to have my car for a long time to come and its definately something i want to do.

Preciate the photoshop volunteer andrew. If you need any other pictures let me know and ill snap some when I get off of work. that 3D model sounds pretty riteous. My cousins just hacked this 3D development software that imgoing to try to get my hands ahold of. Im thinking about doing somethign similar.

I put cds in the little cubby hole, and it's hard to take cds out when the car's in park. Anyone else have this problem?

I drive a manual, but if I had an automatic I'd want that shifter low and outta my way! Besides, most of the mods people do on their interiors are for mere convenience or asthetics alone.

It seems the internet is full of jackholes just waiting for the oppertunity to poke fun at someone, I wouldn't pay them any attention. They are the same people that will jump on the bandwagon once it gets up to speed.

(p.s. TCAV8R, don't steal my word! hahahaha)

I have the same problom on my sandard. I found out if you don't leave it completly full than you can get them out easier. I think I need to just break down and replace the CD case that got stollen when some one bashed in my drivers side window a month and half ago.

Whoa dude your shift know is huge. Maybe you should shorten that instead of hoping for a short shifter. Automatic tc's with the optional OBX shirter is about the height of the temp circle in the dash.( the bottom most part) maybe even lower

Here is the OBX **** in my car....its hella tall also


Here is my first ever attempt at photoshopping....shorter than both yall but it sucks


thanks for all of the input guys....ill keep you posted and you me. I think this could be a good idea. One of my boys has an Eclass Mercedes and their automatic shifters are very low. I was admiring it this past weekend. I think this idea has some merit.

I told my friend that someone on scionlife wanted a short shifter for their automatic and he didn't believe me. I sent him the post and he was speechless.
