Did you check with the dealer? I checked last year when I was looking for the slider rings. It was kind of pricey though. I think they said it was almost $200cnd

Who did the center console? I need the exact same thing for my hammer shifter. I currently dont have a center console at all, so Id be very interested in knowing more information. Any chance in making a second one?? Thanks.

What shifter did you use? If you let me know I can compare the dimensions to my shifter, if its that big of a deal I can just use whatever shifter you are using. Thanks.

What's the point of having a shifter like that?  And how does it work?

Uhh, it makes it easier to bang through the gears going down the 1320. You dont have to worry about overshifting, and a cable operated shifter is just smoother than a linkage shifter. That is why they are so popular for racers, now for a car that you dont have to worry about going fast, then it wouldnt make much sense I guess.

Oh okay.  I didn't know they were cable operated.  I've never really looked into them that much.  Thanks for the explanation!

i will but they are not cheap. and i would prefer doing the fit and install to your console. and allow you to finish in your choice of texture and color.

Money wont be an issue.

I just want a factory style console and keep my aftermarket shifter, let me know when you are ready to start. Thanks.
