Here's the best pic I could quickly find of my center console area. Keep in mind, my car is more purpose built...meaning no climate controls, radio, etc...

Thanks! I used too thick of aluminum. It was one piece but I had to cut it to make the curve down to the shifter. I ripped my bending vice off of the work bench trying to heat the piece and bend it. At that point, I just cut it. And yes, I have N2O. Here's some better shots of my interior............................well, I have tried and tried, but cannot get them to load. I don't know if they are too large or what. If you want better shots, email me (toddb@charter.net) and I will forward them to you.

I will forward pics, tonight, to you. And, yes, that's the Mazda Racing SS kit. It has a crazy *** short throw. It's very tight and can't just cram the gears like before, with the stock shifter. Overall, I do like it, just wish it would loosen up a bit. Tried several little things, but the same result....still tight. All the parts seem to be of very good quality.

Here's the link to my cardomain page:

You can see some decent shots of the interior, actually, the whole car.
