    Does anyone sell an aftermarket shift handle that looks like stock but better quality?

    Over the years I've seen aftermarket parts produced that replicate the LOOK of the original parts for these cars...just better made than the flimsy plastic (such as the steering wheel horn ring).....I'm on my second or third stock replacement shifter handle...and it now is nasty...just like the...

    Does ANYONE make a stereo mounting bracket that isn't cheap flimsy plastic?

    Years ago when I first got my GN I used one of the widely available "kits" that most stores like Walmart, Autozone, Pep Boys, Frys, and even CarToys etc all sell.....prices vary but they're all usually the same cheap plastic junk...they last a few years (in my experience)...they squeak and...
