As mentioned above, be very, very careful if you ever have anyone else drive you car. Looks pretty good.

I just don't see the point...

Actually, it would be humorous watching them look for the clutch......


I myself don't mind the boot but the 6sp knob would have to go.

Hi,
Haven't checked this in a day, a few replied
In response. Thanks for the positive comments
and in terms for criticisms, I thank you too
I bought the 6MT shift knob at an Acura Dealership and after the installation. I went to another Acura Dealership to get my front body spoiler reinstalled (due to bad installation at first). I laughed when the mechanic couldn't find the clutch. It's a good laugh and a good mod to me. Just something I find humorous
("what's the point?" above is the sole point of my modification )


thanks overall.

yea, its gonna be real funny when u get back in the car after getting a valet and find that your original plastic plate is shattered and your greabox is all fucked up.

its one thing to put the black boot, thats fine, but to put on a labeled manual shifter is just foolish.

Your gearbox would be fine. Just the handle and guide plate would be wrecked, if even that(I doubt the plastic thing is the only thing limiting themovements. I do have to say, if you want to go that far, get a manual, or at least take of the gear sigs and replace em with something that is the same size, but for the auto, now that would be cool. But know its just fake, and the leather also seem cut to low. Definatly and interesting idea though.

I don't ever Valet Park. Don't you read the TL manual when you bought the car

Rule #1, no valet parking if you adore your car.
Rule #2, no valet parking if you adore your car.
Rule #3, Valet Parking is your enemy.
Rule #4, visit acurazine.com

The Valet guy who manages to do that will be on shear brute strength if he does that (you gotta be pretty damn strong to move it like a normal 6 speed). Try to use some common sense. If this were to happen to me I would figure out pretty quick that it was an automatic from the lack of a clutch pedal. Second tip would come from the instrument panel where it clearly lets you know that it's an automatic. Think twice before you make comments like these. Better yet, just shut the hell up altogether.

Almost forgot, traidsganster gave me some great laughs! Good move on changing out that yellow boot - I got concerned for a minute there......
