Maybe not your cup of tea but I hated the feeling of the trim around the shifter.

Got the fake carbon fiber from Autozone for about $15.
Should be about an extra 15hp on this ricer mod.

I was thinking the same....On a real note, it's gotta look a TON better than the 20% of the stock crap that's left on mine.

if they make it in brushed aluminum i'm doing it. that looks really good, i think it'll look even better in a black interior.

nice thanks dude.

although I thought about it, and since the lip of the shifter is already aluminum, i think aluminum would be lame. I plan on grabbing some CF today if my transmission isn't done.
