I found out by accident that if you happen to have brake fluid on your hands, and try to touch your Oem Anniversary 5spd shift ****, the frosted coating winds up rubbing off and you're left with a chrome shift ****. It looks so much better and not ricey at all. It does not rub off the gear numbers or any lines. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures at this moment.

I found this while bleeding my clutch lines and testing shifting into gears.

 

yup the chrome does look much better. Mine is almost there with all the shifting, but now I know how to make it go out quicker . Thanks for the tip

 

Let's see some pictures!

optimus, those gauge lights look HOT! where did you get those 194 LEDs for your gauges? superbrightleds.com??

 

I might try this today (I am bored). I will take before and after pics.

 

just opened a cardomain page....will post pics of my car one day, for now the shift **** picture is there

those led's look like the ones from superbrightleds.com; i did the same on my i30. it looks pretty cool at night. and best of all it was pretty cheap.

 

Haha... Great find. I dunno if I wanna try it tho.

 

I did it yesterday and took pics, but left the camera at home, I will post them soon, although they look like skeelo's, except that I took before and after pics.

FYI- The brake fluid was working, but taking forever, so I used GOOF OFF instead and it worked like a champ.

 

about those 194 led, is it hard to change it out?

 

Yeah, is it hard to take the dash apart and install those LED's? What kinda time is involved?

 

No its not hard. If you have a 98-99 then they use #74. I should take about 30 min to complete everything...
