Not for any kind of performance reasons or anything, just simply for looks. Can I chop the staulk/stem/stick somehow so the shift **** sits lower to the console? Also, while we are on the subject, anyone have a boot for their automatic? Thanks guys, I appreciate your answers.

 

ny96max did this to his car. I haven't seen it yet, but people tell me it looks really good.

 

didnt you get your mom to make a boot for something? maybe it was the e-brake? you should get her to make you one for your automatic, that would be cool

 

I carry shift boots that will work with automatics.

 

Ha-ha!! You remember that, huh? Yes, she did make me a REAL leather e-brake boot. But for that, she had a model to work from. That's the only reason I asked about the shifter boot. To get some ideas what others did. But yeah, I will be having my mom make me a shifter boot soon.

 

where at? a website?

 

yeah i did remember it, i contemplated asking my mom to make me one, the material is worn off it.. i might ask her tomorrow actually i had forgotten about it

 

It's not on my website yet, I just started selling these. Email me at sales@ap-signworks.com for more details.

 

Shadow, thanks for replying, I just sent you an e-mail.

Drivin, yeah ask your mom. I saved all the templates and stuff. I might be able to talk my mom into making you one but the last thing she said when giving it to me was 'don't ask me to make another one of these things, it was not fun'. Although, I would think her second one would be easier/quicker. ? But if nothing else, I can send you the templates and maybe some tips/instructions. Be prepared to spend $25 on the leather alone though. E-mail me.

wow, 25? i wonder how much Shadow's boot is?

 

I had a shift boot on for awhile now. all u need is a universal boot and it will do fine.

Thanks Nis. Do you have a better picture of just the boot up close? Is it real leather? Can you get it in all black? Will it work with the stock shifter ****? Can you still read your P R N D? Where would one get one of these universal boots? Thanks.

 

send me your address so I can mail you up-close pics of it since I no longer have a place to host my pics.

mine is synthetic leather because when I was doing this project, I was custom fitting it as I went along so I didnt want to spend alot of money for a leather one and ending up destroying it and wasting my money.

You can get it in almost any color since its an aftermarket-universal (made for manual trans.)

It will work with the stock shifter.

You can no longer read the PRND21 so you will have to get used to remembering where your shifter is at.

You can get them at any auto parts/aftermarket place. Its just a universal shift boot. Its not like its custom made for this.

 

So anyway, a few of you said yes, it's possible to lower the shifter but does anyone know of any how-tos? Thanks guys.

Nismo: your automatic shifter... which brand is that? and does it have the OD button on it? I'm looking for a shifter like that, but haven't come across any like that with an OD button.

 

You can rewire the OD button to any button from Radio Shack or otherwise...I have had 5 shifters, 4 without the OD button. I just got a 2 switch from Radio Shack and hooked it up below the shifter...

I dont remember the name of who made my shifter, It was like Euro something. No I dont have OD button so I had to rewire the od to a seperate switch. Not hard to do at all, just 2 wires that you need to wire it to a interrupter switch (like a toggle switch)

 

oh yea, Matrix makes a shift **** identical to the one I have

 

looks like a manual

 

You fooled me. I thought your car was a Manual. I want one.
