Yeah BT.
I hate the t & pistol shifters with authority Also hate chrome & aluminum colors, so it would need to be black.
I was looking for a simple basic black leather shift knob but can't fine one. This I got used very cheap.

I dont like the pistol grips...they all look cheap, I only ever liked the stick 6spd grip in mine.

But the T handles I liked...and they had it in black.

I just always thought the ball looked silly on an auto. Keep looking around though, I bet you can find someone who makes an aftermarket leather one.

fuzzy, what forums/boards do you go to for the 300? I've been looking around, and not sure what the best are. I like the new 300S's, and am doing a little research on them. I'm not buying anything for a while, but just planning ahead a bit.

Been awhile....I revisited the smoked tail lights. Been on the car for months now. Bought a set & put in LED bulbs. I like them. Not too dark & still visible while getting rid of all that red.
Also swapped in a factory navigation system. Much better unit then what was in the CLS.
Have 1 more mod I'm working on but it's not done yet due to me messing it up. I'll put it this way... I need to buy a new steering wheel to get it working.

Nice upgrade!

Are you doing something with paddle shifters?

Tails look good, and the navi is a huge improvement.

Yep, sorry supertrooper, can only do it up to 07 models. Directly wired paddles work like they came with the car. Actually makes the manual shifting enjoyable & correct rather then the left to right moment of the shifter. With the trans mods I have the shifting is firm & car will hold gear & no auto downshifting or upshifting unless I program it. I destroyed my stock steering wheel on my 1st try. This one I learned. They are actual AMG metal paddles.

That's a sweet mod for sure! Once I get the transformer though I'll be able to use the volume +/- buttons for shifting which will be better than the left/right shift gate.

Unless your listening to the radio at the same time....That was a PITA. Volume up & down is not disabled when your using the buttons.

I remember you in the CL forums years ago. I sold my CL6 for a black 2007 Jeep SRT8. I see we have similar taste. But I found out my Jeep was previously beat on so instead of repairing the engine I went back to Acura with an RL. I miss that engine so much though.

For the cost of the car there wasn't anything that gave me more. I couldn't spend $30k on a used Acura TLS 6mt.
The only thing I really hate about this car is it's black. In south FLA trying to keep black clean is impossible. It rains at any time & then it dries on the car & you get water spots all over. You clean it & it's full of road dust & grime the day after because there's so much condensation in the mornings. Unless you have a garage(I don't) black sucks.

Oh update.....Can't see it, but I upgraded to a Challenger Getrag LSD.
