Making Shift Boot

I installed my short shifter, then i cut that down about two inches. And I took off my stock shift boot. I am wanting to make one because i know that anyone I buy will be to tall. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of what material i could use to make a boot out of? I would need to have a peice big enough to form a rectangle at the bottom and then come up to a circle. Thanks guys.

Go on ebay and check out different types or material. People on Jbo used some pretty cool carbonfiber look-a-like interior vinyl for different things in their interiors.

make it out of silk. I've never seen a shift boot made from silk.

theres a carbon fiber Look-a-like that comes stock with the SRT-4...if you wanna find the exact name thats prob a good place to start lookin...

Silk? That'd probly be pretty sweet in a low rider/pimp mobile. I don't think it'd work for a cavy tho.

lol yea. cause I wanted something that would stay standing up or I could tie it to the base of the shift knob. ummm I could try some silk. The other thing I could use like the vinyl stuff. I dont know. Thanks for the ideas

I'm sure you can find a place to will custom make a shift boot for you right??

Short shifters are everywhere, www.gravanatuning.com www.turbotechracing.com www.aplusperformance.com ....everywhere. Unless you're looking for one for an automatic, they don't make any.

yea but that would probably cost more money than if i do it myself. sooooo.....

if ur still wondering about material, they might be expensive but try the carbon fiber like material or lizard skin type material.

idk if u can buy the animal skin from that site, but the skins they include are buffalo, calf, deer, elk, goat, elephant, rhino, ostrich, pig, snake, frog, lizard, and stingray. personally, i think its sad, but they would work good.
