The one thing that I've never liked about the interior of the X is the fact that it has a column shifter (auto). Has anyone ever done OR seen a center console conversion? I just like the feel and function of a console shifter. Somehow remove the ash tray/storage compartments, make or modify existing console parts, and install one of the B&M auto shifters. Then remove the column shifter and replace it with a control knob for some other feature, like the cruise control "power" button. I'm not much for designing or playing with shifter linkage, etc on these newer cars.
