edit: hey how come in the white on white thread your post are with a white car? did you paint your black or just find pics on the web?

The exhaust doesn't touch the bumper cause it has custom polyurethane hangers. and the shifter shroud is a plastic reflector. and for the picture it's a picture i found on a site cause the OP asked for a white on white gs.

do you have to switch to a manual ECU?

what all parts are involved? i have done a manual swap in an s13, but those came from the factory with manual so it was mainly a matter of wiring for manual

If you're planning on using the stock GS300 ECU there's a way to get rid of the CEL caused by the missing auto tranny.
