ill see if i can get some at a junkyard first, i need a new trunk mat anyways. and reverse lights for that matter. And i LOVE my B&M, but there discontued. Id go with TWM if you can, they have a great shifter. I got my B&M for free since i used to spend my weekends working on Marines cars installing intakes and charge piping and sportlines and painting interiors for free and the nice ones hook me up and make it worth my while

YES!!!!
Does it matter to make your tail lights have matching tint?
Detail...
If only I knew how to lay carbon fiber, I would have them already haha.

I'm a detail fan. Little accents make a car. However, the xm antenna is black, so it doesn't really matter haha.

Just to let everyone know, I lay dibs to the knuckles look. I talked about it with gestapo in PMs so I won't be a fad follower.

And gestapo, you are now "tails"

john powell hooked me up with a b&m. its on its way. got it for dirrrrrt cheap. i honestly still cant justify spending the money on the twm. it doesnt feel that much different from stock and the throws arent much shorter at all.

Truth, but I mean out of all of the shifters I would say it is the best. So much better it should be so expensive? no. The SS/TC already has a pretty decent throw stock compared to the SS/SC. But good deal on the B&M

i dont really think they matter either honestly lol. I dunno. All i know is as short as my shifter is, it still never compares to a VW shifter i felt once. That **** was SMOOTH. it was like butter going through the gears. Felt like it wanted to almost do it for you.

Why didn’t you shave the antenna while you had it all apart?
