I'd use a different shifter but that's MO.


EDIT: I noticed the door jambs and engine bay are painted as well. Looks like a job well done.

Heh shifters are one of those items that vary widely in personal preferences. While I don't LOVE the shape, it's black and chrome which is what I needed. So it works well in this case.

Thanks for the props. The door jambs, engine bay, trunk and everything was painted as well with the new color. Not fun, but done the right way.

I used standard automotive lacquer. Prepped the surface with cleaners and sanding, and sprayed it on. No clear. I was after a satin finish.

Whaddup big dawg? You already know I love the car

We gotta hook up one of these days, until then I guess we'll just keep up the pm'ing. Stay cool man. Peace.

Oh yeah, one more thing. I've really been considering the LS400 upgrade, and I saw you said that it was your favorite mod on your car. Tell me how you got all that stuff for under $200 when I see the calipers alone going for that much?

Thanks for everything guys, I appreciate it.

Mike, the calipers I picked up at a boneyard for $50 a pop. The premium pads were $35 and the new standard rotors were $28 each. I got these at my local auto part supplier for mechanics that sells better parts at lower prices as opposed to the national chains.
