Shift Boot Pics

Here are some preliminary pics of my new **** and boot

The car is still at CP Racing, so the car is a bit dirty and I don't have my stereo in yet.

I'll take more pics later...

Yeah, it was just a cheapo knop I picked up to replace the very worn stock one.
I'll be looking for a replacement eventually...

hey, i just bought a similar **** on ebay for $8.50 plus $5.50 shipping believe it or not!...and of course you've probably seen my boot pics from redlinegoods.com. so we've got pretty much the same setup. my shift **** is chrome though w/ black. one question: does that shift **** slide all the way over the shifter to make it seem shorter? or do you actually have a short shifter?. i have been hoping that the shifter is pretty much completely hollow so i can slide it as far as possible over the shifter. looks good!

i also bought a set of ractive sport pedals off the same ebay seller for $0.99, plus $5.50 shipping. so for roughly $20, i got a set of pedals, and a shift ****. i thought there has to be some sort of rule where if the bids don't go high enough, the item doesn't get sold, you know like a reserve. i thought i'd be getting an email saying something like "sorry we cannot send you the items for that price". but nope, i got my shipping info, along with the tracking numbers and everything!. still can't get over the fact that you can get stuff that cheap.

It's hollow and and I just have it sitting about 1 1/2 inches lower.

I haven't driven it yet, so I'm not sure where I'm going to sit the ****. Probably a bit higher than it is right now...
