Warning for you on this product. It looks nice but it did NOT fit my automatic which is a 05. I tried 2 of them and the circuit board inside does not fit around the shifter. I live in Orlando so I dealt directly with the source. It seams to fit manual OK. Also the door locks they sell with the led's are great but within 5 months all but 1 of them burnt out. They are wired incorrectly I think. The resistor is on the wrong side, so I have to get some leds from oznium and redo them.

I had no problems with the fitment on my manual tranny. snapped right into place.

this post is worthless without pics. :lalala:

OK, finally got pix:

Not bad...could you cut out a little cupholder/storage pocket in the arm rest?

Well, I COULD. But I don't think I would; I think a cup holder in the arm rest would just get in the way . . . .

Another cheap mod that has been covered is to get rid of your craptacular rubber bushings on your front sway bar and replace them with polyurathane ones. cost with bolts is about 20-25 bucks.

nice woodwork, pooder! i the arm rest looks so nice. it'd be cool to cut out a cupholer into it! ;]
