Auto to manual shift bezel (shift boot)

Is an auto to manual shift bezel conversion possible on the FRS? (before any of you start commenting "should've bought a manual" I couldn't at the time because my car had broke down and they only had the automatic version of this car. I found a manual shift bezel online and the installation looks easy. Regardless of it being auto or no, I enjoy building it. Anybody know if it's a possibility?

My 1994 Z28 was a similar color called "Patriot Red" (later versions came in a similar color called "Cayenne Red Metallic".

It was a gorgeous color that would look great on an FR-S/BRZ.

there's a write up in the interior section somewhere. It works with a bit of customizing but is not a direct swap

not knocking your decision but is this done so it can appear as if it was a manual?

I reversed the pins so the manual mode had the shifter going the "correct" way (pull to upshift push to downshift). This left the labels wrong and it bugged me plus could confuse others so covering it was the cleanest option.

my guess is you will also be able to use manual shiftboots.

Yep, you can. It just takes a little modding. Ive had a MT boot since 2013
