New Free Interior Mod!

[NY2002ElantraGT]

I won Car of the Year on CrookedH.com in December.... i won a free gift from Import shark it was either a couple little things for free or a discount on performance parts. wasnt much i needed so i chose a free gift which came in last night..... couldnt wait to get it installed. It was a chrome shift knob. doesnt really match interior, but it feels great in my hand. my old one as well as the new one is a universal, but my old one was messed up and would move around. so while i had the old one off i cut my B&M short throw cuz its way too long. while i was in my garage, i took some new pics in the dark. enjoy.

Im sorry thats the case, but dont worry, i bet im in more debt. lol

I dont remember when my car was stock! lol nah i do, and i remember wanting my car to be like yours (when i had my 01 Chanti)

They are custom mats from GGBailey. my girlfriend got them for my birthday last year. i had stock Elantra (non GT) mats in my car before that. She had them embroidered with Elantra GT.

Hot interior!! I love the dual pod!! You do it yourself or did you get it from compact div?

[NY2002ElantraGT]

Thanks

its a compact division pod

[chaldowhiteboy]

are your shifts a bit quicker now?

[CornbreadXD]

very nice shifter, ( you kinda look like a sex offender in that ID in the first picture)

[NY2002ElantraGT]

Alot..... big difference. i wish i would have done this a long time ago, i was just nervous about cutting my B&M shifter. o well, glad i did it!

very nice shifter, ( you kinda look like a sex offender in that ID in the first picture)

haha, thanks..... thats my work ID

[04 elantra cvvt]

I would like to cut my B&M, but I would have to have someone re-thread the shaft. I like my stock Tib knob, so the threads would have to be there.

It's a great look BTW.

[NY2002ElantraGT]

dont have it rethreaded, cut the a section out and have the top with the threads welded on

[indkezra]

lol @ everyone commenting on the **** in ur car and not on what you originally posted about

[NY2002ElantraGT]

yea, welcome to the forums...... i posted up pics of my painted interior and all i heard about was my missing door pannels. haha

[Pete03GLS]

knocked up is such an awesome movie. lol

[NY2002ElantraGT]

lol, Thanks Pete

[04 elantra cvvt]

I don't know how to weld aluminum, and the guys that do charge way too much.

LOL

[Vampyrate]

dirty car?!? dirty car?!? you didnt have a new can of copenhagen go missing for 3 weeks only to find it exploded next to the passenger door!

now that is a mess.

[waif69]

Nice job, thanks for sharing the pics.

[Ugzz]

dont have it rethreaded, cut the a section out and have the top with the threads welded on

way to make that sounds so easy, you know, cause we all have welders in our basement :D
.. and yes, im well aware that a number of people on here probably do.. lol

[NY2002ElantraGT]

i dont have one, but i know at least a dozen people who weld... worst case bring it to a Minekee. haha

[IOALOT]

Hey I noticed that you live on Long Island, Theres a place in the Bay Shore area that is pretty good and the guy gives a reasonable price. It's called A&N Reliable Welding 59 Livingston St. Bayshore NY (631) 666-6664. I had an Oldsmobile that needed the rear axle beam to be re welded because the part where it supported the springs was rotted out and they were poking through. Anyway the guy did the whole thing for $100 even which is a good price for a project like that. He seems familiar with working on cars and has like a million feral cats that he has living in his shop. So to make the long story short he did an awesome job on the welding just don't judge it by the looks of the shop, its what I would call eclectic with all the cats and stuff...kinda like the welder guy in the old herbie movies lol. errr ok correction I forgot that you know people who weld anyway, well if anyone else needs a recommendation for a welder this is the place in my opinion
