Default The Plastic piece by the Shift ****
Mine is all sorts of scratched up (when I got the car). Is this piece attached to the shifter assembly or is it a separate part I could pick up?

This is the one over the P,R,D etc.

Thanks.

It's attached to the center console by a few screws and is definitely replaceable, but I can't recall if this has it's own part number or not.

After owning my car for 2 years, I noticed mine was all scratched up. I took a closer look at it and realized that it still had the protective film over it (which is what was scratched). I peeled it off and now it looks brand new!

you can use the same polisher kit of an iPod.
Or anything like that.
I did mine with the iPod polisher and now is brand new.

Bison is happy!

I always wanted to buy those scratch removers, but just found out that plastic cover, didn't remove it yet, maybe later.
