I'm not sure what its called but when you change gears from park to drive. There is a plate thats placed over the P and R and D5 etc.... In our cars its plastic, well in the 02-03. Anybody know where i can the find the chrome one?

thanks

 

You cant get one unless you take one off a 99 Tl and dechrome it.

 

can i just take one off from car and chrome it?

 

*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.

 

99 TL shift plate will not fit an 00-03. 99 is a 4 speed tranny

 

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.

 

"Mr " has a '99 chrome shiftplate on his '03 TL-S.

 

So how exactly does that "fit".

 

What do you mean how does it fit???? Everything lines up except the 5 speed has an extra slot at the bottom.

 

nice acura seatbelt pads in the first pic. i hope they aren't urs

 

So then how did you get that done?

 

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.

 

is that silver or chrome shitf knob?

 

ok well any ideas where i can find a 99 shiftplate? I just checked ebay non right now anywhere else?
