Back in the day the Ferraris and other exotics didn't have shift boots, instead they had a gated patten cut out. They looked pretty cool, so if someone did that to a Honda would it fall in the innovatively cool category or the ricer :ghey: category?

Hard to see but here is an example...

 

You would need a new transmission because the stick on a Ferrari remains verticle at all times, so I hear. On a Honda it tilts and angles as you shift. So it wouldn't really work.

 

i see that in other cars, similar. Gunmetal = chrome = uber :ghey:

 

I dunno if it would be that difficult, when I put the new headunit in I had to drive around for a couple of days with the interior torn apart and it didn't seem like the stick moved that much.

 

Chrome won't go with my car, if I do it its gonna be a simple finding a piece of black plastic and cutting out the gate pattern. Then spray painting my stick black and getting a new black shift knob.

 

i think it would be kinda cool

 

You could shape the metal to angle with the stick....

 

Hmm so consensus says it might be cool, well I know what my project for tomorrow is.

 

great,..post pics,..depending on how it turns out,..i might do it on one of my cars and see how i like it,..i have a couple extra consoles i can experiment with

also,..you should use a piece of aluminum,..and have

1 3 5
2 4 R

etched into each point,..i think it would be nice

 

:werd: If I were to do it I would have it CNC cut and laser etched Now that would be
