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

Of the TYPE S ON THE SHIFTER ILLUMINTATED

 

the "noob"?

 

noob?

 

Is that the canadian way of spelling it?


(FYI, it's KNOB)

 

i knew you were gonna put an LED in it once i saw your post about taking the knob off and modding it.
now hurry up and post the pics.

 

Knob oooooohhhhhhhhhh LOL
that makes sense I feel stupid LOL

 

i didn't understand a word u said....

 

Here it is I need a better pic at night though(this week end)

 

yea....take a picture showing the LED mod...which is what this thread is about. Not just the knob itself... haha

 

Theres an idea of what it looks like with it fogged out

 

Cool idea man, I was thinking about this today actually. I want to see more pics!

 

I havnt seen it at night yet but I think its going to hard to get a pic of

 

i wanna see it glow in the dark.

i perfer the black look vs your frosted look. unless its on a WDP.

 

 

What is the gauge you have installed to the left of the center console?

 

looks like a compass

 

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 think this might actually look good. Wasn't a fan of the blue halos, but this sounds pretty cool. Guess we'll see with the night pics

 

Dont get your hopes up, it looks OK in my opion

I will have pics up tonight

 

That's what I thought it was...


Never seen a mount like that.

 

i mean the pic you took makes the shifter look frosted/white.
i perfer the stock look on your car.
WDP is the color code for white, in thats case your frosted shifter would have matched the car.

 

i vote for name change to "shifter noob"

 

I Unfrosted it and cleared it( now it looks NPB )

my buddy got drunk and we had some issues with the camera but tomorow I will have pics

Nf3 you never seen a mount like that because its custom, like everthing else on my car, thats how we roll in canada

 

^ Haha...I gotcha. Just call me Noah. Easier than nf3blahblah.

 

Ok noah

Oh and

 

ive never seen someone use for their own thread lol

 

 

hey noah, what does your user name mean anyways??

NPB shifter FTW!
although the frosted one is something the WDP guys should look into.
get on with posting those pics already.

 

its NBP!! NIGHTHAWK BLACK PEARL

not nighthawk pearl black

bunch of noobs

 

Long story...tell you sometime over drinks...















Not really anything...just random ass shit. lol

 

sureee noah ill drink with you. ill give you the money and you can buy me the drink okay??

grrr my bad, i typed them in the wrong order. i knew it was NBP. heck, look at my ride.

 

Ouch...actually that sounds like a good plan...just give me enough money to buy me one too!

 

I just want to say this looks alot cleaner in person and also this is how we roll in Canada LOL






Heres another pic of my volt meters I was messing around today and made from scrath a digital one

 

Better than I expected and something new.

Props for creativity.

 

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

 

Yeah I was thinking of blue tint but what is this bathroom diffuser u speak of . Link ??

 

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

 

Is it safe to say you like blue......?

 

I like. But needs some sort of diffuser.

 

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
