This weekend I aquired a few new things for the STS. 4 R1 Concepts Crossdrilled & slotted Rotors with HP Pads:

Black snake handle shifter (eBay):

And a new Wheelskins two-tone steering wheel cover to match with the new shifter:

I have the SHALE (RPO 151) interior, but I think the black shifter along with the matching black/sand wheelskins steering wheel cover is a great match to transform the interior a bit.
What do you folks think?
:D

Jason,
Ohh, I would get a wood wheel if I can FIND ONE off a 2001-2002 Eldo.. Those thing are RARE and when you DO find one, it cost 2 ARMS AND 2 LEGS..
I've been wanting to ask you something Jason,
I've been thinking of swapping the center console from a '98-'04 Seville so I can use the wood shifter. Now when I say "SWAP", I mean the entire console, with the mechanical shifter, switches and such. I'm assuming the 98 and the 97 Sevilles use the same bolt patterns to bolt the shifter assemblies down to the floor? And that the cabling on the '97 can be used with the newer assemblies. The electrical part I can handle. But I do not have access to a '98 or newer Seville to tear down so I can check the parts.....

would have to cut it some to work it as the hole at the top which the radio mounts to is PART of the consul on a 97 and its part of the dash on a 98+
i can find a wood wheel for you i know where several are for about 100 bucks...

Jason, PM me the link....
Ibwd,
Thanks the steering wheel cover is the two-tone "Wheelskins" brand, you can get those for 26 bucks new off eBay... The snake shifter I scored for 99 cents. LOL
The rotors are the ones that cost, still not a bad deal for 4 rotors and HP pads for $184 bucks..

$184's not bad at all, though you can't beat the 99 cent snake shifter. :)
