OK after all the discussion on the board, thanks by the way, especially to d5c5b, my yard stick of a shifter got the chop. Heres some pics, lemme know what you think, now when the monitor folds down to insert a cd the shifter is below it, its a thing of beauty.









Oh and i changed the trim ring at the bottom from black, back to the original chrome, what do you guys think, go back to black or leave the chrome?

 

looks good, a whole lot better and leave it chrome

 

can u slide the shift knob all the way back? either way it looks a lot better than before.

 

what do you mean slide the shift knob all the way back

 

sweet!

 

looks very good..

 

all the way to D1.

 

oh no prob doing that, the shifting has not been affected at all, this was done for the obvious cosmetic reasons, oh and by the way had to lower it because the ps2 is goin in thursday so wanna make sure you can see the screen without any obstructions, still to come though a 7.2" flip down to replace the dome light, hows that sound, prob just gonna pick up an ebay special for like 110 considering the frequency that it will be used

 

wow that looks A LOT better!... i wanna do that too now... so whats the procedure?.. did you measure how much you wanted to chop.. and just chop it?..

 

the chrome def looks better.....it looks better than b4 but i still think it is 2 long....i duno wat else you could do about it unless you want to cut it all the way 2 the ground

 

nice!!! can you tell us how did you do it?

 

Well basically just take a buzz saw to it, theres an outer shift base and an inner shift rod, you can go as low as you want just make sure you leave about an inch to an inch and a half so that the shift rod can go down far enough to depress the lever so that you can shift into gear, easy thing to do if you have the right tools

 

Yes. Please do. I'm sure several of us would love to do the same thing. Nice job btw, and it looks great.

 

chopped manual

 

hey... whered you get that wood steering wheel?..

 

its a cover

 

Mine isn't chopped but it looks lower...

 

thats what mine looks like 99CL

you have a automatic though, whats up with the boot, you trying to be a manual?

i can tell from the pedals on the floor

and who did your stereo install i like where the headunit is and what screen is that?

also what headunit is that?

 

BTW my Razo Sport shifter looks a little red/rose color in some sunlight does yours? mines black but other colors come through sometimes

anyone else have this on their shifter? i know of 3 now

 

Sick..Just what I was waiting for someone to try it out first ..Please leave us detailed instructions on this DIY.

 

Loooks real goood.

 

97acrura3.0. I put the boot in because it looked plane without it, not to make it look like a manual. The screen is a Plye screen, it's very clear. The hu is a RF, its all denon internal. RF bought it from denon and put there logo on it. but i took it off.

 

how much was the deck? is it cd player only?

i need a new deck asap

 

I got it from Sounddomain. I got it for 300 when they first got it but i believe it's only like 200 now. It's a preamp hu. so you'll need amps to power your speakers. It's a nice deck, if it was reg price it would be around 1 g for it. but RF couldn't sell it so they're blowing it out.
