The shifter was on the original frankenbonne, which I did not swap over and let it go to the junkyard with it. I grew to absolutely hate that thing over the years. Stock shifter ftw.

The engine bay is a mess right now, but ill get pics sometime soon.

FANTASTIC!!

Are those factory handles? They look different on top, wider. Maybe it's cause they're white.

Imiss my LE :sadeyz:

Stunning. Reminds me of my old '88. There is something about that '80s styling.

Not sure if it's as compatible, but try the 00+ shifter knob. It's fantastic compared to the cobra-head or T-handles the older cars came with.

Maybe it's the ThirdGen F-Body guy in me, But I like the T-Handle, as well as the Cobra Head.
