Cancelled - GI: illuminated shift *****

Sorry guys, this won't be happening as the price from Mazda Japan isn't much different from the price you can get online already..

Thx for the interest
-Dmitri

It seems these are a pretty rare commodity this side of the pond... I am toying with the idea of importing a bunch of these from Japan. Trying to figure out how many people would be interested and at what price? How does 180 shipped sound?

Comments?

PS: mods - please don't hate me. I know this isn't exactly a for sale ad but there is a price and I'm trying to help people out. Please delete my thread if you feel you have to, but then no one gets shift *****

There is a special shift boot with a snap button on top that allows you to disconnect the wiring before you screw off the know, so as not to damage it. I will have to find out if this comes with the illuminated **** or would have to be purchased separately.

They're 200ish + shipping elsewhere. If you feel it's too much let me know what price you feel is fair. Once I figure out the cost to me I'll see if it's worth it based on the amount of interest...

are you talking about the oem **** being illuminated?
I remember some people installing these waaaayyy back in the days but there was an issue with the wire connections being weak. I believe it was recommended to re-solder them.
