Does anyone offer something like this or has anybody tried custom making one out of a sheet of aluminum or something? I cut down my stock shifter and decided that a late like this might look better. Any help? Thanks guys.
You could have one made quite easily. Make yourself a template of the gates of the shifter, and send it off to a machine shop for watercutting. Make sure to add a little extra room in the cut so the shifter doesn't rattle and drive you nuts.
While you're at it, you really should look into chroming or polishing your stock shifter. A black shifter will look really ghetto with a nice shift gate.
Just not sure how I would make a template like that? Go steal it off the local ferrari challenge arcade game?
The easiest way would probably be to take the shift boot out, put the center console back in without it, and make a mock up out of cardboard. Make sure the shifter clears the slots completely during every possible shift.
ahhh, that shouldn't be too hard, jus have some shop laser cut or waterjet the piece, then jus screw it into the trim piece. Jus make sure to get the dimensions right or else you're gonna have alot of trouble getting into gear.
you'd need to make you're own shift boot though. if you removed that entirely and just put a plate in there, you risk letting ALOT of dirt, and/or whatever else you drop in your getting getting in there. think about taking off a door panel, and putting the screws down near the shifter, and that screw, unbeknownst to you, falls in, and jams your shifter into first gear. you're gonna get VERY pissed off when you realize you have to remove the center console because you dropped a screw in there. make one of those plates for an 00-01 SE 5speed with a boot to prevent shit from falling inside, and i'd buy it without thinking about it.
