Search it, i'm sure it's been covered before.

And guys, go easy on him. Just tell him to search instead of reaming him out.

push the knob on the button, pull the cover off the handle, unhook the spring inside, put the cover back on, done.

yea its easy, the only thing that took the longest was takin off the stupid boot. u unhook the springs by pullin the tabs on each side and ull hear the spring drop, put the boot back on and put the drift button onto ur original button. and ur set.

at least you are putting mods on your car, im friggin putting new intake manifolds on and keeping mine running...thanks to a bastard seller that even though was a nice guy, didnt tell me that the intake manifold was cracked where one of the coolant hoses was.... but its coming along now, and my first actual mods are the deck(of course) JDM rain visors, and a JDM s14 steering wheel, which i havent decided whether or not to put on yet. (no im not a jdm whore i just like the rain visors, and i got the steering wheel for a good price, anyone wnat to buy it? )

So basically what your saying is, if the nerf football... a small colored piece of foam marketed to 8 year olds... if it falls off or slips... your car is at the bottom of a hill crashing into traffic? Sounds like a thrill.

just like a toilet, i jiggled the handle and it slid off slowly, but surely, once it was free enough, pulled harder, and it came off, easy as that

The ones we carry are Cusco and they are $19.99 each. Right now we have the Toyota/Mitsubishi/Mazda ones and Nissan knobs in three different colors: blue, red or silver. These are all in stock.
