does anyone know if they make a factory woodgrain trim for the 5spds.....i just converted to manual and i dont want the black pieces....any info is appreciated. thaks alot

 

Woodgrain in a 4dr sports car?

 

i like luxury just as much as speed

 

no they did not ever make one, maybe in another country but nothing.....

 

I like ur sig pic .... nice wax job ... lol

 

I have woodgrain in mines, but its not a 5-speed and I like it.

 

why did you waist your time posting then. Everyone knows there's woodgrain for auto's.


You will find woodgrain for 5-speed in aftermarket only.

 

dam that sucks....thanks alot guys....guess im stuck with the black trim.

maybe i can buy the woodgrain stick on for just the 5spd trim from someone?? yall think thatll work?

 

I used the factory woodgrain after my swap. I like luxury and speed as well.

 

Mine came with a woodgrain finish. I once called the dealer for a replacement panel, but their price was astronomical - something like $150 for a single panel. So I replaced it all with Joshua Tree trim set. Unfortunately within a year or two that also started to delaminate.

I guess my point is that you can get it both from Nissan and aftermarket, but both will eventually peel apart up at the center AC vents. I suspect that's because of the thermal stresses created when you run icy cold air through a very hot interior, and the wood trim panel just peels. So you might want to leave off the panel around and immediately below the center AC vents if you don't like the idea of it peeling.

My old GLE's wood panel was it great shape even after 10 years. fake plastic wood is ghey anyway. brushed alum. pawns

 

I wish I knew why mine faded.

BTW, the Joshua Tree kit is real wood.

I've been trying to find the original 5spd **** for a while. E-bay didn't have it. I didn't want to pay the high price at the dealer.

 

you can get an OEM AE shift **** on ebay for 50.00

 

Actually, my boyfriend has the 99 SE-L and it came with a stock woodgrain manual shifter... so they do exist, its just a question of where to find one. He needs a new one as well, so I've been on the lookout too.

 

didn't the manual I30's come with them?

 

do you have any problems with the shifter hitting the trim?

 

Not at all. I have the Pacesetter STS.

 

yea im getting a sts too....so i shouldnt have to worry about the trim then?

how did you get the boot to stick to the trim. i ordered the boots from redlinegoods, will i be able to get those in the auto shift trim?

 

I got a boot from a Ford Taurus SHO from the junkyard, it's great quality leather, and it was free. A little cutting, and a bit of glue, and it looks factory. Free mods = the ****

and don't worry about the trim.

 

what do you mean by "little cutting"?

 

Yes they do because thats what I used in my maxima when I did the 5 speed swap. Bought it off the org from Zack for $65 shipped and it was worth every penny.

 

that's funny i was just trying to think who i sold it to. That trip came from my 5speed I30t. They do make a OEM woodgrain 5speed shifter trim for the I30's Its about $140 from the dealer. Ask I30ds for the part # he bought a new one when he did the conversion on his I30

 

I have a B&M STS and I'm using the auto woodgrain trim. I just stole a boot off a friends civic parts car and hot glued it to trim on the bottom. It almost looks like its stock and doesn't hit at all.
