Default Stainless Steal Shift **** Mod

I did not like the chrome on the stock shift **** so I decided to wrap it in stainless steal vinyl. It matches the other grey/stainless pieces almost perfectly. Eventually I will attempt to wrap the other interior chrome pieces.

I'm a fan of the look. Was the **** difficult to detach and wrap?

I couldnt find anything I liked that matched so thats how I decided to just wrap mine. I may look for a new one and wrap it again cause if you look close at the photo my leather is wearing out around the top.

Not at all you just twist off the **** and used a blow dryer to work out the wrinkles and trimmed.

Heres the vinyl I used.
