Simple mod that will make the interior look Better
As what i said.. I did a simple mod that made the interior look 10x better.
I have always hated the stock shifter knob.. it always felt outta place with the feel of the rest of the car and the interior... but if your lookin for a CHEAP and easy mod that will make the interior look soo much better.. check it out
Like what Redog did but on a much smaller and simpler scale... its just the resuse of GM parts in the vehicle
I pulled the shifter knob and leather boot from a 98-up Grand Prix GT and did the slight modifications to make it what it looks like now

I have one similar to that, came from a Bonneville, although I didn't switch the leather boot like you did.

i do like the boot rather than stock. Did you attach the boot to the console piece? or is it just sitting in there?
Overall not bad for a cheap mod.
