Not a fan of the look that the auto has, dealer couldnt find me a man-tranny black on black in Canada, so i ended up settling for auto black on black, but i just really really want the look

personal preference

after further analyzing, it definitely looks possible....give it a shot


P.S. It looks like you can use the auto knob and just put the boot

Makris, as you know, the button would be the hard part....and you know the boot would be easy.....but to complete the look try one of these, a Barton Piston Grip Shifter....FOR AUTOS!! looks awesome and are SO easy to install. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=80373

post back with pics if you get this done, I think that automatic Barton pistol grip with a boot would be a huge improvement in the looks department- Since that Barton shifter clicks down and occupies the whole stick might not work out too well though
