I have an 08 ES with the convenience package that has a black plastic shift panel. For 2009 they added a silver shift panel with chrome surround to the convenience package. My question is can the silver shift panel be purchased separately and installed in place of the black plastic one. If so what would be the price, and what would be involved in installing it yourself? This would be for the 2.4L CVT.

 

just wrap it in tinfoil and get that nice textured look

 

the only difference in the two parts is the PRNDL indicator. the cover doesn't include the indicator and would take modification to work. you may be able to use just the chrome insert though.

 

Hi azjake, I am waiting to receive mine of mitsupartsman, as soon as I have it, I will comment about the installation

 

its been almost 3 weeks, you haven't received it yet?

 

Not yet I have received it. . .

 

mitsupartsman, good news, I finally received the parts this morning, all good. Soon I will comment about the installation. . .

 

Thanks for all your input. I will wait to hear from jsrd on his experience with installing it. When I saw the silver panel in the 09 models it caught my eye and I think it really dressed up the interior.

 

that's great! i'm looking foward to see how it works out for you. i had gotten an email from someone in russia asking if it would work.

 

I would love to get this too... but I'm waiting to also see if and how it would install correctly. What is the price on this too btw? I'm in the US.
