Well I finally put in my redline leather shift brake boot, smells and looks nice!
The emboss on the leather is a bit different but it looks fine to me. And since my stock shift **** was broken I decided to upgrade to a nice Momo ****, It matches with the interior perfectly:

 

looks nice

 

Boot looks nice, not sure if i'm a fan of the shifter. But hey if you like it thats all that matters. At least you have one, i'm still rockin a broken one.

 

Looks fantastic. Love the ebrake boot. Considered shortening the shifter height?

 

Thanks guys!
Mystery I had bought another one that was more shaped like the stock version (still with silver accents) but it didn't mount right, so I took it back and got this one, since I am auto it's more for show anyways, but it does feel weird to the touch for now.

Jayz, as far a shortening it, I would like to but can I just cut some off the top with no worries? I wasn't sure...any input would be helpful.

 

I cut off about two inches.

 

JSmith,

No worries man. Myself and a few others have done it. My OEM broke, so I was moved into getting an aftermarket, and I just didnt like how high it rode.

I know I will have to turn in my Momo when I sell the car, but I honestly doubt the dealer of whoever will even know I chopped 1 1/2 inch off the stem. (Hacksaw, verrrrry carefully)




Check my domain site for more....

 

BTW, anyone know what the hell the SHIFT LOCK "button" thing is above the shifter?

It doesnt appear to be functional.......

Ramberg, too funny man, your sticker inside your console is doing the exact same as mine, peeling up front. I finally took it off, my stuff kept sticking to it!

 

i believe the hsift lock button is so when u are working on the radio console area so with the car of u can shift into other positions for easier access im probably wrong

 

I didn't even notice that, must be my old age. lol

 

Cool thanks guys, looks like I'll be hacking tomorrow!
I am tearing into the dash again anyways, I got the IPOD controller that Clarion finally released. Now I can use my HU screen to control my IPOD, yipee. I can finally free up my other drink holder and stash the IPOD away...
I'll post more pics after the job is done tomorrow.

And yes my stikcer is peeling and I also was wondering about the shift lock, silvermax I'll test your theory tomorrow....

 

it's in the manual. IIRC you must pop it if the alarm activates and locks your car??? could be wrong, but that's what me noggin thinks.

 

Looks hot man , RedLineGoods does some quality work, we need to keep feeding the 411 on this sweet inexpensive mod to our other Org Brothers and sisters...

 

Warren, thanks for the reminder, l'll bring some cigars to the Annual NE Meet in NJ on Sunday...

 

Ask ramberg we chopped 2" off his in 30 seconds with an electric Sawzaw / medal blade... That's my homie...

 

SORRY KIDS, DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME...

 

Thats all it took. When chernmax did his with a hack saw it took 30 miniutes. Yea for power tools. The cigars will be cool. Later Warren

 

Chernmax,
I notice that your woodwork is very dark red, did you do this yourself or is it stock? I haven't seen it that color....looks good.

 

seeing that he has an SE, obviously it's aftermarket. Can't wait to see this beauty in person tomorrow.

 

can't wait to see you all either....

 

Do you guys think I could make it in time for the meet? j/k Damn, sounds like a good time...
Well I cut the stem (a bit less than 2") wasn't too hard with the old hacksaw.
Looks MUCH better thanks guys!!
I also got the IPOD controller hooked up, not impressed at all. You can't search for music, you have to set up playlists, overall not engineered as I thought it would be. So I decided to leave it hooked up for now but also have the direct line hooked up if I need to search something out, I usually have it on random anyways, it is nice to have the song title etc..up on the main screen of my HU (plus it charges it). I also set up the dual zone screens so I can have rear view up top and dvd/IPOD on the other screen, works great. I once again surprised myself with messing with installation stuff!!!
I'LL POST PICS LATER TODAY!!!

 

You can come by plane. I will pick you up at the airport.

 

sweet.......

 

Thanks for the feedback, I did a search on the internet for real wood dash kits, I found this site that had REAL Burlwood kits. With my experience with dash kits, real wood has always looked the best. Cost me about $350.00 but to me, well worth it... And I installed it myself...

 

I couldn't show up without my Max!!! (but thanks)

 

There will be alot of pictures posted. Anytime you are in the area let me know. My club nycmaximas are having a caravan of over 50 Maximas leaving Brooklyn in the morning to go to the meet. I am going to bed now. Good night. Warren

 

Pics of shortened stem and new IPOD setup

 

Holy smokes! That looks awesome JSmith. I love the black interior, looks great with all those nice electronic.

So how much did you cut? Looks like a good 2"?

 

Now that is looking hot.

 

Your shifter looks sweet..

Before Cut:



After Cut:

 

I was surprised at how much better it looks!! So glad I chopped it...
Jayz, I would say I cut just under 2 inches...
T-Bird I'll send you those deailed pics tonight when I get home.

 

Sounds good.

Thanks man!

 

Looks nice jsmithsole!!! I did not want to chop the shift stalk on mine so I just cut the top of the adapter and let the shift stalk hit the top of the inside of the ball. No modification needed.



I do love my silver carbon Momo **** though. Can I have your stereo system.....pretty please????

 

Ummm, let me think.....no. I'll think I'll keep it!!

Yeah it looks ike we have the same shaped ****, I've started to get used to it after a few days now...definitely like the lower look, I did look inside mine and it seemed to go all the way to the top of the ****? Who knows...no turning back now!!!
