Type-RT Gear Knob Mod? - Page 2

I think that a feature of the car is the fact it doesnt have a gaitor. To me it looks like you are making the car more normal.....which a civic is not meant to be.
I feel the same about removing the standard grill for a type R as well.
So i guess i like the car more pure.
But hey thats just my opinion.

I used to love the gaiter on my old Jazz. It reminded me of cars from the 1970s!

Plus, I think it would look neat with the Type R knob. And would possibly fit too!

In fact, I might just go buy one and fit it myself.

Anyway, here's what I'm talking about...

I guess the overall effect would be something like this!

Tend to agree with Rneilg's last comment, although my solution retains the modern look I think!

I do like that look though jayt43 - more modern than the leather look and a bit quirky, but still not as quirky as the unmodified one.
