    checked one more item of my improvement list, celica AT shifter is here, now gonna lay my car up for a day over the summer and figure it out

    [IMG]

    now another item will chrome E-brake button ( like 9th gen corolla S or celica) with S black hand brake cover, just need to find that button though, and LED bulb for gear selector too.

    not sure do i want to change the window switch light as well.

    spoiler- still finding lol

    yeah thanks for the compliment man, yeah it will, cant wait i have time to lay up my car and swap those in. Well, IS300 got a nice lever, the shifter is quite nice on AT too.......


    did a small improvement as well as pulling parts from a celica
    [IMG]

    before:
    [IMG]


    got the ebrake lever cover as well ( top is 8.5corolla S, bottom is celica GT)
    [IMG]

    well looks like celica cover wont work, and the chrome button as well, maybe i need to order a black one or chrome one (9th gen S) from dealer if it is cheap enough lol

    time to get some LED as well, swap em all, when i am swapping my shifter and stuff lol

    these are pretty the last thing i am doing to my car, except maybe proportioning valve from Camry 3.0 to improve safety lol

    You can't swap parts on the shifters/levers to get what you want?

    shifter should be a direct swap, similar length, both car have OD switch too, just connect the OD wire of my car and the one in the shifter, it should be fine

    e brake lever is little headache, Celica one is little longer, and i didnt take whole lever, just the cover ....
    chrome button from celica on my test fit may not work with corolla lever..... ( need to order factory S button than)
