pretty cool. would like it better if everything was black.

[nate23232323]

i thought about powder coating the plate black but i have diamond plated floors and it flows quite nicely

[5150_Leadfoot]

Very nice. Did you fab it up yourself?

[7th Gen]

thats sweet, i want one

[nate23232323]

just went to my local hardware store and got a flat piece of weldable steel and used a metal cutting jigsaw to shape it. then got a piece of rubber and bolted it under the steel. very easy and didnt spend more than like 25$

[5150_Leadfoot]

I've been looking for something like that for months. Is it really that easy?

[nate23232323]

step by step

1. buy steel plate (like 1/32 inch i think), rubber floor trim, 8 screws, 8 nuts, 8 washers
2. get a piece of card board and cut it so it slides under where the shift boot bracket would
3. measure where the center is (where the shifter comes up)
4. using a metal cutting jigsaw cut out the hole and the edge so it fits nice and snug.
5. i used 3m tape for the underside of the plastic where the steel meets it just for added security.
6 then drill the eight holes in the rubber piece and the steel and yr good to go.

very very simple i dnt even kno y i gave a step by step lol

Thanks. I guess I know what I'm doing this week.

[nate23232323]

let me kno how it turns out! easy mod and doesnt look half bad IMO

[Zero]

Not bad at all. :thumbup:
What type of screws are you using? Looks like Philips head screws. If they are, it's a bit too Home Depot-ish. Swap them for hex/Allen head screws? :shrugs:

[nate23232323]

oh good advice zero! yea i was tryin to get by for now and then put more style into it in the next few days. good call tho i like that

[Joey03_VVT-I]

Wow...nice Arcade joystick. Is that for the XBox360 or PS3? :gap:
HAha...jk. Very nice and unique looking mod. :thumbup:

You may want to paint or clear coat it to prevent rusting where you cut.

[lowredcruzr]

also rivits instead of bolts would have looks nice

[StrikerFury]

i have diamond plated floors and it flows quite nicely
should have got a small sheet of aluminum diamond plate... little more expensive but would have matched...

[TmanGT]

Not my style, but good job on doing something constructive.
