chromed my shift gate...A+
I know there are many treads on this, but I just wanted to tell everyone who has a '99 TL (BTW) to go and DO IT NOW! Its only on the '99 TL.
I got the graffiti remover from Home Depot in a white spray bottle. Take off the shift gate....1) take off the little oval cover by the shift gate with a flat head screwdriver. 2) gently pry up the black part by the shift gate 3) work the shift gate off by gently pulling it up from one side then the other.
I would take this time and clean all around the part that is open now...the black plastic under the shift gate and the letters themselves.
Anyway, spray the graffiti remover all over the part and let sit for like 30 or 40 seconds and you can rub off the dull cover and BLING!!! you know have a sweet chrome shift gate!!! run some water off of it and clean her up then put it back on.
