Made a slight change

F8L GT · April 1st, 2011, 08:17 PM

I modified my shift boot and bezel so whenever the trans has to come out, I done always have to remove the bezel to get the shifter off.

wtfcrunch · April 1st, 2011, 08:20 PM

Looks crazy. Not bad though, very good handy work

mayosailor27 · April 1st, 2011, 08:27 PM

Frankenstein man. Kind of cool. Saves you trouble and doesnt look bad. Nice

F8L GT · April 1st, 2011, 08:31 PM

I still have to trip the rear of the trim ring so that it matches up with the bezel a little better

WhiteVenom · April 1st, 2011, 08:51 PM

You plan on ripping out the trans on a monthly basis or something?

93hatch · April 1st, 2011, 09:12 PM

that looks fucking terrible dude

JayC · April 1st, 2011, 09:12 PM

Good idea, my trans has been out so many times I thought about putting a zipper on it.

it will be coming out once a year during the off season

codycat91 · April 1st, 2011, 10:48 PM

Was it really that difficult to take the bezel off? I've taken mine off probably 5 times in the last month for various wiring stuff. And btw,

you can only take them off so many times until the clips finally break off for one. 2 having to take the pistol grip off every time to take the bezel off so the original shift boot can slide off. I will be taking the chrome ring off and mounting the rubber from the underside of the bezel

1.) Thank god
and
2.) Sounds like that will be much better. Look decent and still suit your original purpose

F8L GT · April 1st, 2011, 11:56 PM

yeah i was in the middle of working on it and noticed it was time to take my daughter to my parents for pizza night, so it had to get put on hold

MikeJones · April 2nd, 2011, 12:39 AM

Good idea Mike. I hope your excited for the season as much as i am. Or should it be I hope i'm excited as much as you are for the season?

SWEET2KSTANG · April 2nd, 2011, 01:18 AM

cool deal. i dont see why you even bother with anything inside you car anyways

the only reason why i did it was because I lost the lower shift boot and didnt want a big hole in the floor for things to go through, and also to keep things out of the shifter

BaznastyDave · April 2nd, 2011, 10:53 AM

Good idea, I have the same handle and it sucks taking it off bc the wires for the button get wrapped around the shifter base under the boot while your unscrewing the handle. Btw I have alreay had 1 fire inside my car and don't want another, where did you get the fire extinguisher and how much?

F8L GT · April 2nd, 2011, 10:55 AM

its just a cheap one shot I got off ebay. I will be going with a clean agent extinguisher eventually

blownstang · April 2nd, 2011, 12:27 PM

Is it that hard to get the bezel off? Mine pops off in seconds. I guess if it works for your and you don't mind how it looks then it's all good.

PRODUCTIONMAN · April 2nd, 2011, 12:32 PM

nothing personal, but sorry, I agree with 93hatch; looks amateurish. but then again you keep saying it's a race car not a show car.
