Yea i was thinking the same. But meh i think in other threads some of us were willing to pay $150 max. But now that someone finally made some i guess i don't mind spending $109 for them. $65 would of been great though.

Same. I'll probably just wait til they are on sale. Black friday maybe. Or if they did a GB.

Yeah, didn't make much sense to me either (too much GT at home and Initial D arcade). So I followed this. Highly recommended as when just cruising I much prefer the shifter myself.

That's nice to know, always bothered me too. My BMW has it right though pull back for higher gear, push for lower gear...

Now someone needs to make a corrected bezel

They do, a modded MT shift boot. Lol

I don't know if you read the thread, but there is now a significantly less expensive option available from Turn In Concepts: http://turninconcepts.com/accessorie...xtensions.html

You should set the parking brake anyway, even if you are in Park.


In fact if you park on an incline you should stop, set the parking brake, put the car in neutral, release the foot brake and let the car stop moving as the parking brake sets the car's position, THEN put the car in Park.


Otherwise the tranny is stressed internally the whole time the car is parked.
