Hey I searched around for this but came up empty handed, I was thinking of getting a billet shifter bezel but I was worried how it installs, I have an AOD, do they drill into the stock shifter bezel or do they snap into place. I see screws in the bezel but none on my stock bezel so where do these go? Thanks

I was wondering that too, and i just assumed that you screwed holes in the existing bezel.

i think you're right--from the looks of it, if the rivets/screws are real, you'll probably have to drill some small holes. no big deal.

I think that they screw in. If you don't want to do this the Bullit trim ring from ford just snaps in. I have one of the bullit ones in my car and I love it. Only problem is if you want the billet look the bullit ring is only silver plastic.

Yeah the real billet ones do screw in. I just placed mine on the bezel, lined it up, marked the holes with a sharpie and then drilled them out. No big deal.

I bought a bullit one and it snapped in. It was an actually ford part and I bought it off ebay for about $60 but I think you can get them cheaper now days. Just to clarify to everyone I am talking about the BULLIT MUSTANG not Billet Aluminum.

I don't have any pics. With black interior and being in the garage the pics would come out too dark. Tried it already. Maybe crappy dig. camera.
