Default My first "Custom" visual mod on SC300

Well,

I was bored at work yesterday and decided to swing by AutoZone and get some new air fresheners. I then thought to myself that I remember seeing at one point, a "custom" shifter for the auto version of the SC.. So I bought a shift boot and shift **** and decided to give it a try. This is an alternative to having to purchase a 5 Speed bezel around the shifter.. Some may think tacky, some might enjoy it.. I certainly think it is an improvement. better than the giant dong sticking up from my center console. The boot is now tucked and sealed underneath.

I am not someone who talks about someone elses ride, its in all in the person and what THEY like. Thats not my cup of tea, but its what you like. If you were looking for a improvement, then mission accomplished.

Thanks!

How much are those?

Mine was $11.93 after tax...

EDIT: $59.95.. That's not a bad price! I may be investing in one of these VERY soon...

I don't mind my setup, but this is how I'm gonna have it for now. I'll probably wanna carbon fiber vinyl the same thing when I get a manual swap. To be honest I really don't like what you did, no offense intended.
