RX8 Automatic Leather Shifter ****. Replacement Ideads
I would like to change my black leather Automatic Shifter ****..I would like to see pics of what other members did?
I think it would be much nicer with black leather mixed with Aluminum to match the aluminum accents of the interior.

I picked up the rotary shaped AT ****...honestly, the stock **** is probably the most comfy **** for the AT period, but the rotary one finishes off the car much more nicely. Get a leather boot for it and average looker won't be able to figure out if you got an AT or MT.

I changed mine to a cf momo shift
I had to cut the shaft to make it sit lower.

Did you remove the shaft from the tranny and cut it down lower? Isn't the top part of the shaft threaded for the shift **** to attach? I'd love to lower my shift **** like 2 inches. Can this be done easily?
In the meantime, here's a picture of my red/black leather AT shift kob.

That armrest cushion--is that the one that japanparts sells? If so is the material any different from stock--I was wondering if it would be worth it to get the black one--because the chapperral (sp?) doesn't match my aftermarket tan.

yes, this is the armrest console cover from J-spec 8's. I bought mine through CZ. It was pricey, but looks great and is higher quality than the non-leather console cover.

yes the top of the shaft is threaded but the momo comes with screws so you don't need the threads
i just took the stock shift off and cut a couple inches off then put the new **** on
