Because IMO the gated shifter looks gay and grandma-ish. and since the car is going to be like a sports car i don't want the Lexus old person feel to it.

Because it looks a lot better than a huge ***** sticking up out of the center console... Its not the "I'm posing as a five/six speed" look that I was going for.
Gated shifter does look better than the factory auto, but why install that just to rip it out when I put in a w58?? Now I have a brand new bezel and boot when I go to do my swap.
Do you get it now?
lolHey matrixgts, I moved the o/d switch into the center console. I also mated the trac and pwr/econ switch together and mounted them under the shift boot. Now I just push down on the boot in the lower left corner if I want to turn off traction control or toggle power/economy. Just a simple solution.

i understand where your coming from, i think it's more for looks then anything, doing a gated shifter on a pre 98 car is a huge pain and not cheap at all. this is just a inexpensive way to make the interior look nicer, the dildomatic stock shifter is just not attractive at all..
I have not done this mod, cause i don't know if i want to spend the cash on a manual bezel on modify my shifter, but i can definetly understand why some people do..

Wow reviving and old thread lol....yea I liked it man...but yea I've done two of them..they only cost like 70 bucks total..and you'll need them anyway for the atuo-manual swap..so might as well get rid of the *****-matic. but yea here's the 2nd swap i did in my new SC.
