ehehehhehehe, that's pretty sweet, looks like a rare 5-speed, I'd probably act like I'm shifting it sometimes, too I'll be in a race and pretend like I'm shifting it and accidentally push it into reverse at 70 MPH...

That's awesome.

I demand some sort of write up or explanation on the Shift boot, painting the wood trim, and the Headunit instal cause that is flush.

Without cutting away some materials, you would lose the D too.

I don't have trac.
The ECT button was removed from my previous plate and just tucked under my new plate. I am planning on relocating it to the ash tray.

gated shifter conversion my man...as far as i know, any type of gear **** change will make it even worse since the gear stick on the SC is quite long. Levoc makes one and IMO it looks out of place

Looks pretty good. I thought about doing it, but did not want to dremel the shifter piece. Good to see what it looks like. Nice job!

Also, did you convert the dual-stage airbag or swapped the cover with a single stage?

Why - it's a direct fit? No dremeling needed. Just pops in and takes all of 10 seconds.

OP - that is probably one of the best dash setups I have seen. It really does look almost stock which impresses me greatly

Yea the shift plate pops right in, but you have to cut away some pieces under it so that the shifter can move to the "D".
