okay how do you remove the center console? i want to install my short shifter tomorrow but it doesnt tell you how to remove it..is it screwed in or held by clips? i dont wanna break anything..ive only had the car for like 5 days lol.

 

i believe clips...

 

pull the plastic center cover up first which has the whole cut out for the e-brake. that one over lays the center counsel where your shifter is. so just pull that one up first then just go straight for your plastic around your shifter and just give that a good pull straight up.

also fyi be careful cause the cig lights do have wires running to them so if u pull it off to fast or just to far away from it u might break either the wires or the 12v sources them selves.

and yes. just clips man

 

^x2 couldn't explain it better... and the cig lights i learned the hard way so make sure that you dont pull too hard

 

i made a how to for removing the console...
