There’s also a very good Japan-based shop that has probably lower prices than any of the above (certainly lower than Amayama, in my experience). I replaced my entire side moulding set (6 strips) for $140 USD. Note that there are chrome and black ones; they are not compatible. Ask me how I know...

Hmm, can you share exactly which Philips LEDs you replaced with?

Yeah you're right. I thought maybe it stretched, but comparing the distance between stitches, there's no way it would ever fit. Guess I have a brand new facelift shift boot for sale... going to see if I can sew a new one together or something.

So I’ve spent the whole day figuring it out and huge facepalm. It looks like my brand new boot is from a facelifted 80 - the console is slightly different, and the mounting process seems to be different. On the pre face lift, the boot was glued onto that metal bracket. On the facelift, it’s a...

Folks, does anyone have a picture of how the manual shift boot disassembles? I wanted to replace the leather for mine and got a replacement one, but I couldn’t quite get my existing one off because it was glued to the bracket. So I peeled it off, but the new one totally does not fit. Do I have a...

It’s not required. It’s exclusively an anti theft device. So you can totally go without it. I just kinda liked it, I guess. Afraid mine is beyond saving as I kept messing with the top to grip it and get it out and the thread is done from all the gripping … dumb me. :(

I can get it shipped or picked up anywhere … but many of these dealers list it but don’t actually have it in stock :( Thanks - let me give them a ping .. but at this point I think I have to find it at a scrap yard somewhere.

No, seriously. Look it up on the parts diagram. For GCC only, this prevents theft of the spare tire. There are a total of 5 screws in that metal panel: 4 are small self threading, and this one is a huge one. It matches up with the spare tire lowering tool, as well, so it’s most definitely OEM...

Cheers. Wasn’t sure if this is the right forum to post this to begin with :) It’s this bolt: Part number is 51920-60020 normally speaking. It sits in the middle of the trunk metal piece and it’s basically an anti theft bolt that, when fully inserted, prevents you from using a wrench to lower...

So I stripped a bolt that seems to be a GCC / General market bolt that doesn't exist in Japan or in North America, so I'm now going hunting for it on every forum I can find. Stupid me. How many posts do I need before I can post something here in Classifieds?
