Default Shift bezel finally done!
I decided to go the screw route. It has better grip than glue. Here is a phone pic (camera broke):

Heck, the paint will probably hold up better than the plastic it covers!!! Looks good!

I think it was designed for car interiors. So far, I have had the top off for 3 straight days and no problems.

That really looks awesome. Nice job.

Say, do you think we could spray the whole crappy plastic interior with this stuff??? I need something to hide my scratches!

Drying:
Does the shift knob just pull out or do i have to unscrew it?
and how does the bezel come off?

put your tranny in 2nd gear and pull up....


pry the front of the bazel up with a plastic pry bar.. or something that wont scratch it. it'll unsnap. it kinda hinged/hooked towards the front.
