Just finished installation of AE shifter. Thanks to Matthew Deal for the precise measurements and coaching. Really changes the looks of the interior as well as is an awesome grip. Thanks Matthew.

Need details

Where did you get that? And how much was it? I want one too; how long did it take? Was it a difficult install. Intallation procedure would be cool to have on the how-to sticky.

mfaile...

What is that switch in place of the coin holder? I was thinking of putting my TCS switch there, but am cautious of how many wires are connected.

I rewired my fog lights and it's the new switch for them. Has a blue led inside, kicks butt at night.

Can get it from Dave at South POint Nissan, about $86, follow directions on Matthew's website, fourthrock.com. Should only take a couple of hours. Take your time, I can't stress that enough. Then enjoy!

did you have to work with the dremel cutting and all that stuff? i really like that shifter and i wanted to get it before... but mdeal said that it was really hard to install and i just didnt want to bother with it... but if i do get it then i will get the aluminum dash kit to match it... cause now im in a dilema i dont know if i want the aluminum or the carbon fibre...

Re: Re: Re: Need details

The dremel and a file are necessary tools. You have to trim the small plastic piece at he tip to make it work. This is the tedious step. No other way around it. By the ay, carbon fiber would look the best with the shifter.

Carbon fiber looks more professional. Aluminum looks cheap, in my opinion.

yea actually i really like carbon fibre but i also really like the molded kit... too bad they dont have a molded kit made out of real carbon fibre... then i wouldnt have to make this decision... I dont really like the flat kits cause u can see that its just like stuck on.. but the molded kits look like they are from the factory... thats why i was thinking of the aluminum one...
