GB Interest: Illuminated(or not) Rx8 5 Speed Shift *****

I know a some people have been looking for the Illuminated Rx8 5 speed shift ***** for a while. I've had a few people claim to be able to get them but in the end they couldn't pull it off.

The non illuminated 5 speed version is available elsewhere, but at $100 a pop, some can't justify the price for a ****. I bet Ramy could get a hold of some of these for a more attractive price.

From the info I have these ***** have the same thread pattern as s5 and s6.

Pics from Brody8877, posted in a different thread.





I'd be interested in an illuminated **** for my FD and maybe a second one or a non illuminated **** for my FC depending on prices.

Best modification I did, seriously. These shift ***** are high quality and just the right "heft" because they are OEM. And they look great too lighted up at night.



FYI - I have a short shifter, hence the excess of boot material. I have one from redline goods that will solve this problem and I'll install it once I get my car back from Gotham Racing.

I'd definately be in. Would like to know if there is a difference in appearance between the illuminated and the non when it's not illuminated if that makes sense. I guess a bunch of pics would clear up any confusion.

To my knowledge there is no difference in the appearence of the lighted versus non-lighted until you turn the lights on. It's well worth it though because of its look when lighted. It's very cool.

I'm sure Ramy will post pricing info once he receives it. I'm eager to get my hands on these as well.

I think that is the Mazda part number for the black leather illuminated 5 speed.

I would be in too if the price is good. I mean... I've already done half the work for ya Ramy

Good question. I'd love to have a blue one instead. I was actually planning on taking it apart and putting in a blue LED instead. But if I don't have to do that that would be excellent.
