Can't say I have ever seen an 02 with that combination, but they did it in 03 I know...

Default Interesting. The only reason I'm focused on '02 is the tranny improvments...

Can you tell me more about the upgrade? How was it done?

Really? I thought that in '03 Ming only came with the white interior.

Default It was called "Platinum" but may as well be called white. I love the Ming paint.....

but the white interior is what turned me off to that '03 color combo (kids, sports, etc. would make keeping it clean a full time job).

Default In short, replace tcu with that of an 02 or 03

And you get S mode in the dash. the shifter plate still is the same but I think 4 maps to S
