New Shifter Mod
So I finally finished I was looking at the thread a while ago about shifter noobs and I decided I wanted to do my own shifter noob so.
I took somones Idea of painting the back of the type S a little further and I decided because my car is black and if I painted it black it would not look that great(but I love the orange I forget this member screen name but it looks sick)
So I unscrewed the noob took the longest time it was super tight.
Once I got it off I popped the Type S LOGO off and fogged out the back of it ( some may know where im going with this.
Next I unscrewed the piece of plastic inside the shifter noob.
I drilled out a little
then I drilled a whole on an angle in the back of the noob closest to the radio.
And here it is I put an led in the hole and fed the wire through the shifter in to the hole I made. now you can see the wire even though I super glued behind the shifter but only when you tilt your head forward I cant even see it when im driving and im looking for it.
any ways I will have some pics up this weekend

Its not a compass
Its a volt meter in a custom mount, I made room for oil pressure gauge on top and im doing the same mount on the other side for oil temp and trans temp. Im justing waiting for gauges to go on sale
BTW this mount is super tight ie.doesnt move and when I take it out it looks like there was nothing there!!
Black look you mean paint??? WDP???

i would put a diffuser between the type S logo and the bulb, any of that bathroom light diffuser, it will make the bulb less visible and cleaner i think, but good job

I used it when I cleared my tails for my prelude. It's a "textured" (angular) plastic sheeting that is opaque/translucent for overtop of light fixtures. I'll try and find a pic of it on my prelude lights

Sorry If I f up the spelling im a little intoxicated
If i put the diffuser for the bathroom I wont have enough room and It may look uneven aswell but thanks for the idea evan never even though of that
Keep in mind also that the pic is sraight on and you never see it straight on
But I do agree I need a diffuser of some sort
