Found: "SALEEN" Sterling Edition Shift Bezels
I found these at Action Automotive Accessories (the SS inserts company). They must have bought all of them for $30 each from the liquidation on ebay, and are now selling them for $90.
It sucks that I missed the liquidation, but that is the price of playing I guess. I got mine...get yours before they are gone. I think there are only 10 or so left. http://www.actionautoaccessories.com...oducts_id=1733

Daytona,
My only reservation on these pieces is that they move around on the console. Now I've only been in 2 cars I think that had them, but they both exhibited the same annoying issue. Can you mount it somehow?

Yes, it is suppose to be mounted by 3M double sided tape to the console. My last one was made by the same company that makes the Saleen ones, and it did not move at all.
The only thing I can imagine that is happening on the ones you have seen is that there is no tape on them, they are just resting on the console.

Daytona, don't you have the bullitt shift bezel already? Will this work with that?
|
#9
|
|||
|

Yes, I ordered it because I originally wanted the Saleen one. I got the Bullitt one because I thought the Saleen one was unavailable. I will see which one I like best, and sell the other on the forum I guess.

Thought I would double check with you guys that this bezel doesn't work with autos?

I have the "SALEEN" shift bezel as well, I love that fact it's a limited edition piece too. I can't believe you found this, and there are still some left!!
FYI, mine came with pre-mounted 3M double sided tape. This thing hasn't moved at all. It's not going anywhere. It's a solid piece.

Bump does anyone know if this bezel works with auto shift?
|
#14

I am not sure. You might want to call Saleen and find out. You could call action auto accessories too.
I got an email today stating my order was shipped, there are only 12 left according to the company.

I could of sworn I saw a picture online (I should of saved it) that was the interior of an automatic Saleen with one of those bezels. |

I think I recall seeing that picture as well. You could always get it, and if it doesn't fit just sell it to someone on the forum.

Not to get too technical, but do you know if it was made from black aluminum or painted/powder coated black?
|
#22
|
||||
|
||||
I did not know there was black aluminum. I do not know how the Dark Horse trim part color was executed.
|
#23
|
|||
|
|||
More than likely, it is made from billet aluminum and then anodized black. I am pretty sure that is how the red ones were done too.

Daytona - So didn't you say you did not like these because they were not flush like the OEM upgrade one you did that matches perfectly?

Yes, I said that. I like how the Bullitt one flows with the console. I originally wanted the Saleen one, but could not find it. I am getting over the Saleen one not being as visually pleasing because it says "SALEEN" on it, and the Bullitt one does not, LOL. I want to the exclusivity of having a Saleen Sterling Edition Bezel. If I do not like it as much as the Bullitt one, I will sell it. I have also thought about having the Saleen bezel anodized black to match Barricade's.

Daytona, I would be interested in buying your Bullitt bezel, if you decide to sell it.

Its not hard. It is a threaded shift lever with the knob on top. Simply unscrew and remove.

Not all of them...Saleen pressed many of the stock knobs on; mine was one of them. It was torture to remove!

So mine is a 06 shortly after Daytona in the production numbers, just went out to the garage and tried to untwist the knob. Is seem pretty stuck on there. Now I didnt go full force on it, since I don't want to damage anything, but should I assume I have the pressed on shift knob over the groved, twist on twist off style? And if that's the case how the hell have you guys been getting the pressed ones off?

p.s. The original owner of the Saleen Daytona1783 owns had a heck of a time removing the OE knob. I believe he used a rag and Channellocks (or some similar method). |

I had placed a call to Saleen in Irvine prior to removal. This was early 2007. They told me it was pressed on. They were correct. Upon removal, there were no threads on the shifter.

And what about when you put the knob back on? Did you put anything on the shifter to make it snug with the knob back on it?

My knob is threaded-I replaced it with another knob and just screwed it right on. I didnt use thread lock or anything to make it tight.

I never put it back on, I switched over to a threaded piece & installed a Momo knob from Saleen. I eventually swapped out to a TR 6060 & now bang the gears with a KR lever & knob.

Mine was fairly easy to remove. I just grabbed it tight with both hands and twisted. But I have also heard of people using the rag and plier method.....

I was on the passenger side, my buddy on the drivers. If yours was like mine, it will take both of you twisting with all you've got using the channel lock rag method, & its still a chore to get off and will definitely be unusable after removal.
