*only* the 99 TL can have the shift plate look chrome..on the 99, the shift plate is painted silver and the chrome is underneath so paint remover works only on that year...from 2000-up, the shift plate CAN'T be chromed.

You can paint it chrome, but probably wont look the same. Someone did it already, do a search. I suppose you can get it chome dipped but it's probably not worth it.

Yes it will. You'll just lose the capability to gate shift the car into 1st gear. njtl or someone has done it on their 03 TLS.

Soak a '99 Shiftplate in "Graffiti Remover" for about 2-3 minutes...then swap out the one on your '03 and put in the '99.
