Chrome Shifter

[davidholland]

How many of you guys have chrome around the gear indicator on the center console? This seems to have been standard issue on CV Sports & LSE GMs

My Marauder came with this instead of the carbon Fiber looking piece. When I purchased mine new there were 2 identical cars with the exception of this.

I picked mine because I thought the chrome looked better!

David, you got one of the ultra-rare "Bling" options...:D

Seriously, I'm pretty sure there are one or two out there with a chrome shifter bezel...martyo has one, IIRC. During the switch from 300A to 300B a few miscellaneous parts were occasionally substituted on the assemby line.

i f'd up my shifter one time cuz i spilt beer in it and it was all crunchy when i shifted. so when the dealership replaced it they put in a chrome bezel. any one can get one they came off the crown vics

My MM has the kind of carbon bezel. My MGM LSE has the chrome bezel, like any MGM LSE. So the thing might be rare on the MM, but it is a standard feature on all MGM LSE as well - I guess - on all CV LX Sport.

Same here.

Steve babcock said that these are "misbuilds."

Our cars are now very rare! :D

You drink beer while cleaning your car too? :D

That makes mine an aftermarket misbuild. :D

I prefer the chrome bezel over carbon fiber. When I get a MM, this will be one of my first mods...if I can find one.

[superford3]

hmm never seen that

Marty do you remember when and where you found out it was differant?

[cruzer]

Check your build date--I'll bet it is Oct-Nov '02--I have all the '03 300A standard equipment PLUS traction control and do-nut spare--listed as a 300B. I think my build date was 14 Oct '02.

I don't remember what I ate for dinner and my plate is still in front of me. :D

It was at the first Long Island meet Terry brought the chip over and you putting it in and you remarked about how you had a crome shifter and no one else did:P

But then you would have to chome the door handles and bezels to balance.

You have good mamories! :lol:

I did somthing different, just my taste. I like the dot look on the shifter cover because it matches my dash. But I like the look of the chrome button and collar, it makes the shifter POP. Here is my version....

Don't forget the woodgrain dash parts....:)

[michael ward]
