Ray... dude... I deleted your number by accident... call me when you get this. I have a question for you regarding those front turn signal lights.

thanks for the link badazzTL, yea it would look pretty weird since everyone knows tl type s only comes in automatic, but i guess if i keep my right hand on the shiftknob and use sportshift it may trick some people

lol yea the mirror is sorta crazy but i got it as a gift so i just put it there. As for the shift boot i got mine on ebay. this one to be exact
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6775
there are lots of others too. I just took off the black plastic ring around the silver plate with a coin on the little handle. Then i used a scissor to cut off parts of the bottom because it was too long. (by the way i'm not doing it the right way, so i recommend you dont do it like me) It was risky because if you cut too much then youre screwed. And well the shift boot already had a hole on top. I just unscrewed the shift knob and surprisingly the small hole was just big enough to cover the crome bottom of the shiftknob AND not being able to go over to the shift knob. but yea, it works great and i love it. thanks for the comments guys.
by the way you probably noticed i put my gear on d5 to make it look more like a manual. haha it was my friend's idea. Thanks for the comments everyone

If I did this mod, my brother would fudge-up the car the first time he took it for a spin... LOL, I can hear him now "man, I know I didn't see a clutch pedal, but how was I supposed to know...?"

Sorry JDM, IMO it's too ghetto. But, hey it's your car so enjoy it and mod it how you like it.
