yeah that is very nice. Too bad that sifter and e-brake are nearly a $1,000! :

I'm going to give this guy a shot, I was just looking at the instructions for removing the center console from the B&M short shifter DIY pdf. If he can do
the job for allot less than $500 I think it will be worth it.
I only worry about scratching in a high traffic area like that. Maybe I'll have it
covered in 3m by Premier in LA or something.

Forgive the noob question, but where else can I get my center console painted to match my exterior as well as the plastic parts on the doors? I love the way the color-match console looks and I think a green one would look great on my car.

Thanks, Travis!


EDIT: Great, now I feel the need to get much of the interior in metallic rain forest green. The pics in the gallery are sweet.

Yeah, bumperplug's stuff is expensive, but the paintwork will be perfect. A perfect paint match and no blemishes or defects when it comes to your door. I've had mine in for over a year, and not a scratch yet, although I am careful around it. I got my console when it wasn't pushing $500 bucks though. Remember that ordering it from the factory, however, it costs like $800.
