Performed the first part of the modifications I have planned for the shifter today.  The stock vinal wrapped shifters with the big button on top or t-bar with the button on the side are so dated and take away from the interior of the auto cars in my opinion so I decided to do something about that.  I picked up an adapter for the shifter that allows me to use most aftermarket manual shift knobs.  Here is a couple shots of it installed along with what the old one looked like.  I am considering trimming down the shifter a little to lower the height on it.  I will decide on that once the other parts come in and I see how they look with it this tall.

Next on the to do list are custom leather boots for both the shifter and e-brake.  The company making them is in europe so it will be a couple weeks before they arrive.  Looking forward to them snazzing up the interior a bit.
