Cool idea, and nice write up. Think it would look better with a different knob though, so there was more boot and less giant ugly accord knob...

a little off topic... but what kinda ideas have some of you guys come up with who have switched out their shift knobs to ones such as the type-r shift knobs. cause mine always falls down and it shows the little metal rod. also im referring to 5spd

I used a pspec black shift boot collar on mine, but with how short the shifter is the boot kinda pushes up so it never falls down.

Those razo knobs look decent, but I hate the "tryin to make mah auto look lyk a manual" crap.

Leaving it stock looks fine to me. It's an automatic. No point in getting too over the top... on an auto.
Especially when people do that, trying to make it look like a manual.

Dude leans in the window: "ohh man it's a stick? niiiice"
"nahh... i just... made my... auto look like a manual..."

yeah that's cool.
