Default I know this is retarded but!!!

Hey guys I just bought a R154 and it needs rebuilt so I am currently running a auto 1.5JZ. I know this is stupid so please no troll but I am thinking of installing my manual shift boot and using my Vertex shift ****. I think it will look good and my auto shifter is old and dingey along with the panel. I was gonna do this over the next week. Has anyone on here done this?
