i just think its a little gaudy in that area.

did u ever think of getting it custom mounted by the spot where the key goes?

that cant cost too much money. I mean the button was pretty damn cheap so why not get it

done nicely (diy or have a upholstery shop do something for you)

Why did it take so long to put on? Do you have to cut off the old e-brake cover or something?

cutting old e-brake cover was not that hard.

i had to take out all the dash to slide the shift boot.

Oh, I see. There's no way to slip it on without taking the dash off?

Mine is a 97 5spd but I've got a 98 center with the woodgrain around the shifter. The center console came out of a 3.0, I can tell because there are scuffs of the outline of the chrome ring that was there. It will fit though no prob. Let me know, I really want that chrome piece.
