XXGREGXX · October 18th, 2010, 09:07 PM

Ever get tired of looking at that stupid, ugly, automatic shifter? Want to just to do something new? Here you go.

It's not perfect, but figured it would spark some peoples interest and ideas!

V8POWA! · October 18th, 2010, 09:24 PM

yeah i changed mine also, way better. lol looks like a stick shift knob. thought about finding a sleeve for it and you couldnt tell its an auto. a couple ppl here have done that, it even tricked me

XXGREGXX · October 18th, 2010, 09:26 PM

Sharky I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

I can tell you I'm exhausted after all day workout. Lol.

this is awesome greg!
can you have it in neutral, and slam it into drive?
(kinda like a hard launch?)

XXGREGXX · October 18th, 2010, 10:07 PM

It can do anything the stock automatic does, it's just cosmetic.

carney · October 18th, 2010, 10:27 PM

How much this run you greg?

XXGREGXX · October 18th, 2010, 10:28 PM

Umm... The shifter was 20 because I bought it on E-bay and the boot was 10. But you can use whatever knob, so it varies.

SinisterStang · October 18th, 2010, 10:46 PM

You copied my style Greg!! j/k i did the same boot mod but just left the factory shifter so i wouldn't have to mess with overdrive button relocation. Looks good though!

XXGREGXX · October 18th, 2010, 10:47 PM

Thanks.

SinisterStang · October 19th, 2010, 02:32 AM

Greg i thought you said you work out alot? Look kinda chubby in the video. haha just giving you crap dude.

XXGREGXX · October 19th, 2010, 11:42 PM

Haha, I do work out alot.Twice a day to be exact. Which resulted in a little extra weight to be honest. Taking protein and other supplements. I got to weighing about 220 and just to make things simple benching 300+. But after joining the Navy I'm more geared to cardio now instead of weights. But I'll admit I do fall fault to some good cookin'

SinisterStang · October 20th, 2010, 12:32 AM

Yeah cardio is where its at! Especially if you ever get into a fight. My GF and her family are old-styled Italians, and they eat the unhealthiest food known to man, but oh does it taste bomb!!

XXGREGXX · October 20th, 2010, 12:37 AM

My family is German and greek, and the wifes family is Philipino. My God, unhealthy food is never too far from me.

I used to be a fighter a couple years ago. Only recently stopped training half a year ago or so. So I know what you mean, but my focus was on hard hits, not fast ones.

Zatrekaz · October 24th, 2010, 05:23 AM

Thats a really cool idea man. Where did you buy your boot from? I am going to do this.

jessemachone · October 24th, 2010, 06:22 AM

remove auto, replace with stick. problem solved

good work man, I'm just bustin your balls.

XXGREGXX · October 24th, 2010, 07:10 PM

@ Zat, Everyones favorite store...

AUTOZONE.

It would go sexy with the black and red of your car.

WhiteShadow · April 21st, 2011, 04:35 PM

isnt it just easier to attach the boot to the underside of the dash cover part you removed? then all the boot doesnt have to sit above the thing your trying to hide and it can be pushed down for an authentic manual look. im really interested in doing this for my car. im gonna do some damn research and post a reply write up once i get the time and money to do this.

V8POWA! · April 21st, 2011, 07:42 PM

lol ok
