3M Di-Noc on 7AT

sparky · 12-03-2012, 12:06 AM

I'v never really liked the plastic shifter on the 7AT so I decided to wrap it in
3M Di-Noc. I did this and the door switch plates. I'm not a big fan of CF especially if it's a sticker but I don't mind a few accent pieces.
Opinions??
Flame away if you like.

No complaints!
Why didn't you do the silver part instead?

I like the metallic look of it, kinda looks a bit classy, but the plastic center part seems the opposite of that. I think Nissan could have done a nicer treatment of the whole 7AT shifter considering the rest of the car. I see some people put a boot on but I thought I would try this first.

I also added the Momo shift knob awhile back which I like for the same reason, just a nicer and more substantial piece than stock. My $.02.

Fair enough, I like the metallic look too, but If I was confident in my Di-noc skills, I would wrap it to make it sportier.

Looks like a professional job. Good work!

Doesn't look bad! I personally don't like seeing carbon fiber EVERYWHERE. If I do wrap some of my interior parts, it would be the silver portion around the shifter & my window switch panel.

Try a different finish, maybe matte black or white. Or even the color of your car.
