Forgive my stupidity, but why in the first pics are your trim pieces painted silver and in the newer pics have them wood?

Default these are inspiring post.

both projects are sick.

digging the color change.

the manual conversions is getting to me. if the economy wasnt so messed up, I'd do a manual conversion on my daisy driver and set it up for road racing.

thanks for sharing pictures and insight to your projects.

IS300 shifter is in, working like a charm. Wiring is freaking easy, this shifter rocks and looks very nice; its freaking sweet BUT it has it's downsides. Putting a DIY article and writeup at the moment complete with pics and chopping directions. Patience my brothas, it will be posted in a separate article.
