You'd probably be more in luck finding a specialty shop which usually isnt a big shop. In our case, someone who mainly works with boxers. Or get a quote from a dealer, it'll cost more but it should be covered under their warranty.

I think it's a function of supply and demand. It's probably very rare someone buy a new car, spend extra money for an option and then immediately spend money to undo the up charge. Personally I would just enjoy the auto. Driving fanboys really over state the cool factor for manuals.

EDIT: Don't get me wrong.. I do love this car in AT; its pretty much the best AT I've ever owned/driven... I would just like the option of converting over to manual down the line, and turning it into a full blown race car (when I am no longer commuting an hour+ in LA/OC traffic everyday, and without having to take all my mods off and sell my car). Especially if I plan on spending the $$ for boost at some point. Last edited by iceblaze; 04-02-2018 at 03:53 AM. |
