Yes, the mirrors will be resprayed soon, since I didnt use enough clear coat last time apparently, and its all but worn off now, which is weird. I guess its just the sun, but my clearcoat all around the car has taken a beating! -- anyways, I hacksawed the shifter, plain and simple. I have a pic of the piece I cut off.

http://www.t-mobilepictures.com/photos/photo09/12/fe/39e849f6880f.jpg

And then i just screwed the old shifter knob back on, which was a PITA since i hacksawed it poorly and it was crooked, but with a shitload of force (and partially destroying the threads inside my knob) i was able to put the stock knob back on (it my favorite knob out of the 3 I own... its the most comfortable, even if it doesnt look all that great.)

And thanks again guys for all the compliments! Hopefully the car will stay this clean for a couple days :lol:

[DontPassTheFence]

oh, and i forgot to mention, that is Meguiars NXT wax (the liquid one in the bottle, not the paste)

I dunno if anyone remembers, but wayy back when I joined the forums I used the turtlewax color matching BS, someone told me about meguiars NXT, and I said I would try it, and now finally, about 4 months later, im actually using it. Its pretty awesome wax. And I like how you apply it to the entire car all at once, wait for it to dry up and what not, then you wipe it all off at once, unlike that doofy turtle wax that has you do a small space at a time, wipe it off then continue to the next space. I hate you turtle wax, yay for Meguiars. Also, the tires are bling blingin' due to Meguiars Tire Shine. THat stuf is powerful, oh man. You cant look directly into my tires in the daytime now :D

[lamonpat]

Yeah, I use Meguiars only on my car. And it's the cleanest car in town! :P

Oh i woulda already bought a really expensive CD player, but I have an mp3 player hooked up with the tape deck converter. its sooo convienent. one of these days I will get around to molding an mp3 slot where the tape deck currently sits, im just too lazy right now. it sits in the cupholder just dandy, so I have about 5gb of music on hand at all times in the car :D
