My 99 Chrome Shift Plate
I finally did my 99 shift plate. It turned out perfect!!!!! It took all of 10 minutes to do. Im telling you guys this is an easy mod for almost no money if you have a 99 and have paint thinner. I want to thank NSXNEXT for his example. He inspired me to do this .

Its real simple. All you have to do is pop off the plastic around the shift plate . You will have to unscrew your shift knob and just pop off the shift plate . Just a little pressure and it will pop off. I just used the paint thinner outside . I let it sit for 10 minutes or so and the mostly all of the outer layer came off with hot water. Nice and chromey

It really is easy unscrew your shift knob first Then pop off the plastic around the shift plate . Once tha is compleate you can just pop off the shift plate. Once you get the plastic around the shift plate off it should look like this

After you use the paint thinner to strip it. What do you use to make it chrome. Is there a chrome paint or the chrome is right under the stock finish???
