Well, I won a shifter surround on Ebay and the color is slightly different from the color of the oem dash console. My thought are to cut the oem console and add the sti trim ring and boot to it.

Thought?







My basic idea is to trace the inside opening and them use calipers to measure the track width of the sti trim ring, add said distance to my trace and then cut it out.

The spray. I tried to spray a stock hazard switch red using plasti-dip, but it turned out horrible so i pealed it right off.

If you spray it too thin you can easily scratch/snag it and once you get one little section loose it all wants to peel off. To get it to hold better you need to scuff up the pieces and use a TON of coats. I did the grill on my X with a full can 2 years ago and it has zero bad spots. A grill I did using about 5 coats started to peel after a few rock hits about a month later.
