Default Would anyone be interested in new automatic shift ***** (92-96)?

Yes yes I know group buys must be preapproved, but this isnt any kind of buy yet.
I think I can get brand new automatic shift ***** for $150 and shipping, list is $235 on them. I know alot of people's are not in good shape, mine included.
Would anyone be interested in them if I was able to get them at that price? If so, I will then take the necessary steps to get everything approved via CL rules, etc.

If anyone has a grey one they want to sell for like $30 shipped, I would gladly take it. I plan on chopping it down and see if I can make it about 2" shorter.

It is soooo much cheaper to get your **** re-covered as opposed to re-placed.

Keith has a good point. I would have to say I am not interested in replacing with OEM but would be elated if a shorter/nicer option was offered.

I have been looking around and saw the new celica's automatic shifter, I KNOW I KNOW before anybody starts with the whole 'but its a toyota/celica, downgrade bla bla bla' I really dont care, and hey at least its still within the family .. anyways, I am suggesting it just because it would be cool to have something different/newer without having to go too aftermarket.. I saw a picture of several ones and it SEEMS it could fit.. it has the o/d button in the same place yet its contoured.. the only thing I notice is that it might be too tall and some might not like the chrome button but that could be worked on..
