PM Jamiejam01 i think, he has done it to his show car and will be able to tell you much more than I or most of us here. He is sponsored by Soundstream & is probably at some CES show as we type....
OK bruceleroy I will bite.........I know from some of your other posts & pictures that you are somewhat of Photoshop Pro/Photographer!! So.......not sure if this is the real deal, however if you do in fact have real woven leather gear shifter and park brake.......how did you come about these??? :naughty:
you know what i just noticed. it looks like the dimensions for around the shifter area is the same for manual and automatic. i wonder if i can buy the ring piece and boot for the manual and put it in place for the automatic. So that my auto shifter will have a boot, i dont care for the letters that are currently there because i look at the speedo anyways when i shift. Any thoughts?
What Accord leather boot are you talking about??? I am thinking the TSX leather boot as well because it looks like Acura used about the same size openning as Accord.
My thoughts exactly. I currently have my car torn all apart so I was planning on going to the dealer to see what I could match up.
I do like the TSX shifter. Otherwise I was just going to go to the MOMO dealer. MOMO makes a shifter and parking brake boot. But I do like the TSX shifter better.
I think you would have a tough time retrofitting the shift boot base of the Acura to the Accord. The openings are a little different. You would have better luck with the manual boot base off of the Accord.
I have not heard back from the guy off Ebay that is selling the 09 TSX shifter. Hopefully, I will get some info soon. I will let everyone know something.
Would a few of you guys like to try and get some sort of group buy?? Not sure how to work that out. Anyone have any suggestions??? Anyone with contacts in an Acura Dealership that could get these parts for a cheaper price????
Glad to see the interest in getting rid of that freakin horrible looking AT shifter!!!
I will not know until I get the parts in hand, but I really do not think it will be a difficult retrofit. The boot is the only concern....I am sure it will not be difficult though.....tricky yeah.
I have been looking at the TSX shifter for a couple of days now and it looks soooooo good. Would be a nice change on the Accord. :thmsup:
Ebay guy still has not emailed me back. I think I am going to take what (AznX TL) found and get something online. If you guys research and find a good price for the shifter and boot.....PLEASE PM me and place on this thread!! Thanks guys!!
I never noticed how much of an eyesore those AT shifters are until I read this post... ugh Honda just makes u feel more n more shitty each day... coupe owners get stock projectors, same FCC ID as the TSX... sedan!? the gas mileage isnt even in our favor anymore... it just isnt fair :dunno:
A little update. I purchased the manual boot and surround from the Honda dealer today. I hope to have it either by the weekend or next week. I will post up when I get it. The only thing that I worry about is the attachment. It screws to the underside of the center console and I don't know if the AT console has the mounting points. I might have to glue the boot to the console.
I'll take pics. I am not exactly sure how the shifter comes apart. I'll figure it out when I go pic up the boot.
I will probably have my wife modify the boot for the shorter shifter. I might just have her sew me up a new boot so the install might take a little longer.
