This is an easy task that you can do to change up the look of your interior. Well, if you have a manual transmission, that is. I replaced the standard metal shifter surround in my V8 Vantage with carbon fiber one. I was fighting off a bit of seasonal funk when I filmed this video, so you'll have to bear with the medication-induced babbling.
…not that I don’t usually babble too many anyway.
Needed
Shift knob and shift boot (optional)
- Alcantara shift knob
- Aluminum shift knob
Shifter surround (optional)
T20 Torx bit with ratchet
Tools to remove the armrest and lower console
About half an hour
Step 1
Remove the armrest and lower console.
Step 2
Turn the panel upside down, being careful of the shift knob, which will flop around. Use the T20 Torx bit and ratchet to remove the two T20 bolts holding the trunk (aka boot) release and door lock buttons to the panel. Set the switches aside.
Step 3
Remove the remaining three T20 Torx bolts holding the shifter surround to the panel. Each piece of the panel and shifter surround will come apart.
Step 4
Follow the steps above in reverse order for reassembly.
And that’s it!
