It looks like it was cut with scissors, but I assume thats because the website resized your pictures for you. Looks good though! Were these just stickers?

yeah just vynil decals, the shifter inlay was cut with scissors and straight lines because it was too big, all else was pretty good.

Looks nice, was thinking of doing this but I'm going to end up designing some myself and geting them printed.

But yeah on a side note, what shifter **** is that? Havent really been able to find one that doesnt look like a stock one... I think I saw somewhere that the **** has to have a button since it's overdrive? And do you have to get some kind of adapter for an aftermarket one like yours? (Sorry for going offtopic =/)

I have those same shifter and HVAC panel overlays. But I haven't put them in yet.

You are suppossed to take apart the shifter assembly to install the overlays. That's why it is cut bigger.

One question for you, does the HVAC and shifter still light up nice and bright with the overlays on them?

actually i just got it off ebay, they come in mine, (gunmetal), red, blue etc, as for the button, this doesnt have one, the whole head of the **** pushes down when you want to shift and acts as the button, it was like 7.99 plus shipping, no adapters at all, take off the old one, lay the new one over, so its resting on the yellow stick in the shifter assembly, i hope you get this lol, and tighten the 3 allen bolts, took me 3 minutes TOTAL, very easy. its made by hks and the ebay seller is... yustyle82....or you can check my recent items @ onesweettransam

krisb410, thanks for the info, i wouldnt risk breaking my crack free plate disecting it for an overlay, so i just cut it to size, the shifter inlay still lights up decently, not AS bright as before but you can see what gear your in easily. the hvac i cant really tell you because my never really lit up even before, its only got one bulb currently lighting, its pretty dim.
