Here is a video of the cutting process

Looks way better. No?

Took me about 3-4 hours with the dremel tool to cut the rod, also burned my hand on it because the rod was so hot from all the cutting, but in the end its worth it.

Yes! Easy swap?

This thread is worthless without details.

did you have to cut the gear rod

m a x i m u s

I thought about this before but always thought it would look weird from the side. got any side shots?

snowmuch

Broke almost everything single tip on my dremel tool, I thought the rod was hollow but I was wrong, ITS SOLID...

snowmuch

Does this count?

mr747

looks good mate really good but i dont think i would have the ***** to hack it off

Autosport7

Ummm did you literally grind your way through it?
You know they do make cutoff blades for the dremel....

I don't know that I would have cut it off either mr747.
But I do love the CF trim wrap! I know some aren't fans but I for one love the dry CF look.

Wow that is gutsy!! I guess there no way back to stock knob. Lol

snowmuch

The blades broke while I was working on other projects...

Thanks for commenting about the wrap!

papashango

I like the way the knob looks but I would have never had the ***** to do it myself!

I like the interior cf wrap. If you don't mind me asking who did you go to and how much did you pay? If it was in Calgary that is. I would be interested in getting mine done as well.

snowmuch

Thanks for completing the CF warp! I actually bought the wrap on Amazon and did it myself after watching couple YouTube videos. It was easy but time consuming and the shops in Calgary wanted $400-500 to do the wrap...

papashango

It looks awesome, I wish I was more DIY type of person. Would love to do it on my car but yea 400-500 sounds way too much.

snowmuch

Thanks! Please call ECUPROGRAM @ (403) 457-3650 for a quote. Tell them you're Aaron's friend. I've been going to this shop for 4 years now, best experience ever.

papashango

They do wraps? Seems like a tuning shop?

snowmuch

It's a reputable tuning shop but they do mechanical and custom work for VIP customers too. I know the owner and staff pretty well.

papashango

Sounds good. Also, if you feel up for helping me on the wrapping DIY it would be awesome. I could order whatever parts I'll need. I can of course compensate you for your troubles if you're up for it.

snowmuch

I would love to but I'm a pretty clumsy guy for example I broke a couple tabs when I was taking the trims out. I would feel bad if I messed up your precious car. Let the professional do it

Wow, i love this.

I have always wanted to change the gear knob to this one.

Cutting the metal stalk wouldnt bother me.

Can you please post some more proper side shots?

How much did you cut off [exactly]?

How did you secure the new knob on?

Where did you get the shift boot with red stitch?

Thanks

snowmuch

Here is how much you have to cut off. The little gap will secure the knob in place (although I put masking tape on top of the rod that made it more tight and snug)

I will get a proper side shot later due to the demand

I had someone online stitched the boot in red for me

AMG893

Love it, thanks for those pics too.

Thank you

snowmuch

Here are the side shots per requested, they do look a bit weird no one is going to look at it from this angle.

This is some serious surgery :O

You need a custom leather boot now - this one is too long.
