dude that shift light is pimp it would have been even cooler if you could fit it and keep the little grill part there so you couldnt even see it that would be so awsome. did you have to cut a bunch to get it in there? very nice work

I like where you have the shiftlight. I have mine in the AC. Is there a write up for where you put it or do you have any tips/advice?

shift light took a bit of time because i had to fab a bracket for it. i would have liked to keep it behind the grill but the grill angles face the window and the light is too long unless i didnt angle it towards me which if u ask me is the only way to do it--i dont look out my window when i shift my whole reason for puttin it there was not wanting to put a hole in the pillar, im very picky about cutting up my car, but i ended up having to screw a tiny hole in the side to mount the bracket because nothing else i had was working. u can hardly tell though. i didnt want to put it in my center ac vent because then i cant see it when the tvs out. i think it turned pretty decent though overall. im doing little things to try and set it apart from the average joes car so everyone knows hey thats tommys car.
