well yeah, i guess i am on the forum way too much

the piece used to be around 50 bucks purchase price. a lot of people got on it, however now toyota has pulled the part, and you have to get the whole shift plate assembly. very expensive, like 300 bucks or so. (sniff sniff coz' that's how i got mine )

There are a lot of topics on this. I searched for a while too. It was about $20 for a while. I got quoted for $260 for the whole assembly. I am just going to take it off and get it chromed. At EOS there was a company SIK Industries? I think that does chrome plating on plastic.

Sik Industries is the company. EOS is the End Of Summer meet. RMMGS4 has had a lot of pieces done by SIK.
