Not to bad, but get a new nob that stock one looks way way out of place. They make nobs for auto that look like manual shift nobs.

Looks pretty original, never seen anyone do it. I do think the top of the boot should be smaller
You can try to make it look like it's manual transmission, but it will still be auto. :(

True true, but boots aren't only for fooling into thinking you have a manual when you really have stick, I got a boot for mine, but not to fool people, just so I can have a different look inside my car, and to match my interior I'm in the process of coloring up. I mean in all honesty, you'd have to be a moron to get a boot just to fool people, and not for astetics, after all, you can't fake a clutch pedal. :rolleyes: That's just my take on it all.
Tboyer, I think it looks good, I was gonna comment on your LJ about it, but the server is like down or something as usual. :mad: I'd also say pull the top of it down just a hair, and it'll be all good. :) Glad to see Futangklan was able to make one for the odd shaped shaft of the 7th gen automatics. :cool:

F&%k it, I think it looks tight... I was thinking about adding that to my auto... how'd you get it under the plate your stick rides on? (That just doesn't sound right...)

whaaaaatttttttt??? Um, to install the boot You just take apart the console and stuff the boot down in the gaps basically. Take off the knob and put the boot down over it and then put the knob back on. Then just put your console back together. Not hard.

ohhhh.. so thats why I put the boot on the auto stick... I thought I did it to obtain a unique/original look. oh well, my cover has been blown.. guess I should remove my invisible clutch
