I just installed my new Levoc in about 30min. Very simple procedure. I also changed up my E-brake with a Matrix aluminum/carbon handle. That was kinda involved but i got it done. Both look awsome on the black interior. The dash kit looks hott too. Ill post pics of all my new mods from Christmas. Anyone need help with the install drop me an e-mail i will be glad to help.

Happy New Years!!

try: SH MOTORSPORT 480 898 9727
model # EB2 aluminum/carbon fiber
$20 + shipping = $25 to your door
It wont fit exactly, so you will have to do alittle modding to the metal arm in the car before you install the new one.
Should have some pics up soon.

Did you have to remove the existing black plastic cover over the e-brake handle before installing the new one? How did you remove it? Post some pics please.

NATHAN: yes, you have to remove the old e-brake handle first. I used a pri-bar and a mini sledge mallet to smash it off. I heated it up for a bit to make the plastic more flexible. No glue under there either. As for the install it was kind of a pain. You have to bend the e-brake arm at the bottom where the new handle will slide over. I bent the metal with some vise-grips and a heat gun. Then i wrapped the new handle at the top with a cloth and lightly tapped it down into position, most guys i have seen leave the actual button you press flush with the top of the handle. I made it like stock and have it sticking out almost all the way. Its easier to operate that way.

WICKED1044: I love them, thanks for the advice!! Look good with my Piaa 9004 and hyper white bulbs. Now all i need to get is a new set of clear bumper lenses.

Did you use the spring from the old shifter?
What parts supplied did you put inside the new shifter's shaft?

You dont need to use the old spring. There is one in the **** already. All i used was this small roundish spacer and the supplied screws(included with the kit) First remove the shift **** and also remove the stock white plastic clip at the end of the rod with some pliars. Then use the suppiled round spacer and put it on the end of the small metal shaft comin out of the car that moves up and down. This allows for the new **** to work correctly. Then use the bottom holes on the shaft with the supplied screw and allen-key screws as well. To make the install a breeze remove the whole center console which gives you acess to the wiring alot easier.

Hi nymax, please send me an e-mail, I've got a couple of questions regarding your install.
Thanks

Ny96maxse, how did you remove the plastic piece on the top of the stock metal rod? Is it threaded? Or is it glued? Did you pull straight up or twist? When I attempted to twist it slightly I could see the rod beginning to twist as well. I dont want to bend it or break it....Also, it sounds as if, unlike some of the other Levoc installs Ive read about, you removed this piece and only used the little white spacer supplied with the Levoc kit? I literally came in from my garage(doing install) just now to get additional input. Please respond asap. Thanks in advance, appreciated, CAR WITH NO NAME.

Attention to all Levoc Auto Shift **** owners....
Finally got my Levoc **** installed!!! As ny96maxse said, the plastic piece must be removed from the top of the shift rod coming out of the console. This must be removed if you want the **** to fit as intended. The **** may work otherwise, but the position of the **** height will not be per manufacter's specs. The function of the **** is great as far as switching from gear to gear. If you want your **** to sit lower than it does if you have not taken off the plastic piece, take this advise and remove the plastic piece.

Thanks to ny96maxse for bringing up the fact of removing the plastic piece.
