Hi, just joined. I've been looking at getting an xB since I first noticed them and test drove one a few weeks ago. I finally convinced my wife and my credit union that I need one to replace my 97 Maxima. Black is my color choice. First couple of mods shall be leather steering wheel cover, tinted glass, monsterknob. Then wheels. I'd like to shorten the shifter (auto), but am reluctant to cut into a shiny new vehicle like that, and rethread. Doable? Any way to verify shaft dia. & thread size?
Also a question about the online "build your own" feature. Does that work like it claims or does it just send a message to the local dealer to see if they have something similar on the lot, to bring you in. I have checked inventory at 2 of my local dealers, and while one dealer has 5 or 6 (in black) that are pre-upgraded (wheels, XM radio, and rear spoiler, mostly), the other dealer has 4 or 5 "base" models in black. I was hoping they intend to use these for platforms for filling online orders.
