Why do so many want to make this mod ???
I guess it's like any other visual mod, really - just to give the car some "personal" touch. Some people don't like the feel of the factory **** and would prefer leather either in part or in whole.
Me, I just took some Aero Blue touch up paint and a very fine artists brush and painted the recessed numbers and extended "H" pattern in the stock ****. I like all the matching silver trim on the car as is. One thing I did change, however, was the shift boot - hence my reason for this post in the first place. Instead of the plain black boot, I now have a two tone boot that perfectly matches my two tone seats. Unfortunately, this image doesn't show the blue in the numbers, but my shift boot is the hotness.
