There is an aluminum trim groupbuy going on at the "other site", which also includes getting it in chrome. That would be your best bet to get a chrome shift plate. PM me if you need more info.

If you have a 1999 you can just remove the shift plate and use graffiti remover to take off the silver paint and there is chrome underneath

Why do you have an avatar that said TL T-S if you have a 99TL..... go to wal mart or homedepot and pick up a paint remover for 3 bucks.

I doubt you need this but in case.


1)remove the shift knob (blue arrow) by turning it counter clock wise. (just turn it, you won't break anything)
2)stick a flat head screw driver or your nail on the edge(red arrow) and pull that piece out.
3) This is the hardest part, either pull the shift plate to one side and pull it up. Or stick a screw drive in the two holes in each side and see if you can loosen it up (becareful not to break anything, please look and use your brain.) Work on being able to pull one side out.

4) dip the shift plate in paint remover.
5) *optional* clean area before putting the chrome shift plate back
6) put everything back.
