I need to upgrade some of the interior in my 04' MCS, DSW, LBL. I am looking for the best quality in chrome rings, e - brake handle and boot, shifter and boot, after market gauges, and starter button. Can anybody suggest any after market companies that will have what I need? Thanks.

Thanks for the info, I do appreciate it. I'll be sure to post some pictures as soon as I get the time.

I appreciate the info as well. I've been looking for some less expensive chrome and they seem to have it! I noticed they offer a chrome shift knob (see it here: http://www.coolnewamerica.com/produc...?id=148&type=8), how do you think it compares to the Whalen? For $100 less it sure is tempting.

hi Pieter,

i did buy the chrome shift knob before my whalen but as the whalen is very heavy and thats what makes it shift great, the chrome knob doesn't come close and isn't worth getting imo.

the whalen isn't just a knob, have a search on the forum and see what the others say about it!
