Default couple of mods done in my interior..

Just added.. vent rings, stainless gauge panel, momo steering wheel, brand new carpet, leather seats, custom shift **** from a 300m, shaved the "taction control" panel from the center console and paint and pinstriped it.

I'm not even going to lie about these vent rings, they were a PITA. I removed the vents, knotched them, glued them and reinstalled them.

i like the switch panel and of course the seats and carpet... shift **** is ok... but the rest of it doesn't look like it belongs on that car at all esp. the steering wheel... i think some people get carried away with appearance mods, but maybe i'm just boring and like the oem look haha

That shift **** looks worlds better than what came in the car stock. I also don't think the steering wheel looks bad at all. I can see what you mean by it looking out of place, but I would say that is only because the interior needs more silver accents to help complement it.

i think more accents would only make it worse... we just have very different taste... that steering wheel belongs in an s2000 haha

What do those three switches do? Could someone have a Nitrous bottle hidden in their Trans AM trunk?

The flash on the camera really made some of the colors change weird.. I'll take another pic in regular daylight and the black steering wheel doesn't really stick out like in the pic.

alot.

- remove the stock ****
- remove the white plastic tube
- used a dremel to cut the black tube to alow the new shift **** to have room to go down.
- re-painted the black tube
- cut a 1/4 rod the correct length and drilled out the bottom so it would sit on the shift mechanism correctly and wouldn't slip off (a 1/4 chrome ratchet extension works great for this. it is what i used.)
- slide the new **** on the 1/4 rod



soo.... technically if i wanted to, I could use a 10mm socket as my shift ****. the 300m slides perfectly onto a 1/4 extension, so thats what i used.

the **** slides on snug for about 1 1/2" it's plenty to hold it on fine.
