yep, it wouldn't matter. in fact, in my pict where i compare the one from the car and the new one, the one from the car is in it's locked position as it should since the car was turned off.

no issue removing it as you would pull the unit off vertically after removing the 2 bolts.

kenchan that thing bothers you that much? It's pretty unnoticeable to me.

not sure on yours, but mine is pretty rough... like almost burrs of steel. i think im going to mask off the brushed part and carefully just file it down.

i wore gloves while driving today and it literally shredded it a little.

martin- looks good.

waizzz- nice scenery!

hey so i filed the decorative part of the PWJDM knob a little bit (actually, it took me like 1hr not to scuff up the brushed area.

and the mt.fuji didn't look bad so i just kept it like this. i put a little plastic ring i had in my parts bin to raise the boot a little bit. perfect fit.

How does the decorative part feel now Kenchan? It looks great! I'm really interested to hear of your driving opinions.
