    Default Vinyl Shifter console

    Does anyone have pics of a beige vinyl shifter surround? I'm wondering what mine will look like
    Thanks

    Here's one from the donor car when I did the conversion, used it for quite awhile until finally getting a wood panel. The color mismatch is cause the rest of my interior is parchment, not sure what the official name is for the tan panel & boot.

    (edit) actually I kinda miss the vinyl panel cause I never had to worry about spills or scratches.

    Pefect thanks. Actually this made me realize something my int is also parchment and I think I'm getting a beige shifter surround. I just realized another problem
    Gale- on Jehu's thread you mention Carpartsdiscount.com for a wood shifter surround. I have ASC so it won't fit any ideas as to how to get it to fit or where I could find one that would fit?

    It's "softer" than beige in gales pic you can see the difference between the beige shifter console and boot and the rest of his interior

    Parchment (pergament) is also a pain to keep clean

    That boot and trim looks like Natur and the rest of your interior is parchment. My car has a Natur interior.
