go with a custom boot... i went to a local sewing school thing... i paid them 10 bucks and they made me a blue and white vinyl shift boot.. 4 pannels with white pipes at the stiches... it looks real good, but i dont wanna install it till i finish my ghetto interior

i made a white vinyl one myself, just ripped apart the old pattern, cut the same size and sewed it back together... turned out really good and only costs a couple bucks.

I know not many people are fans of the T-handle, but trust me they're VERY nice and easy to handle. The boot if from an Audi.

HorsepowerFreaks has a lot of good stuff. I can get you good deals off their website if you find anything you want/need.

**johndej** · 08-07-2003, 03:11 PM

yeah, i'm looking for a type R (teg) one now. lol, if you want to go kinda cheap, theres a set at walmart w/ a colored boot, shift knob and pedels for like $25

The Razo is ok, i just don't like the indentation in the top. But not bad.

tell me which one you want and i'll tell you how much. usually somwhere around 25% off sale price (depending on the item).

*EDIT* hey Matt, i'm also having some custom billet shift knobs made specially for my business. They're gonna resemble a large drill chuck. They're gonna come either polished or non. My friend is gonna make them, im just having a little trouble getting the money together to have a batch made. They'll cost around $20 bucks + s/h.

That would look pretty sick with a dark blue boot.

heres another kinda cool knob:

Momo Raptor

they come in leather, aluminum (show) and carbon fiber.

**Hash_man_Se_i** · 08-07-2003, 03:55 PM

My friend just got this shift knob, and I think its awesome. It feels so good to use as well. And for a boot, I would say get a good quality momo or something, but if u want cheap then make ur own.... or... dare I say.... APC

**moose** · 08-07-2003, 04:23 PM

here's mine, made by Pilot, nothing special, but i like it

**stizle** · 08-07-2003, 04:24 PM

Bro, IMO u should go with that chrome Ractive one that u psted the pic of. Would look hot no matter what color interior. Go for it

**stizle** · 08-07-2003, 04:41 PM

Ok here is mine. my car is automatic but it looks like it is stick. hehehe

Alot of good stuff and ideas here.. Well whatever I choose will look good with my GS-R Short Shifter!! aww can't wait!

**ghost_ny** · 08-07-2003, 06:17 PM

Too many to chose from. I need some too

**markmdz89hatch** · 08-08-2003, 07:49 AM

Mikey Mike, show me what you want for the shift boot, and I'll make one. I've been making a few here and there and they're coming out pretty good. Just tell me what color, and what kind of design you want. There's a bunch of possibilities, just give me an idea of what you want.

....ps..if you want one, hit me up on the cell.

**iloveJDMblackrims69** · 08-08-2003, 12:51 PM

hey matt... go to walmart or somethin and pick you up a copy of scc magazine... they have all kinds of style shift knobs..

**89 Accords Rock** · 08-12-2003, 08:55 AM

I made my own boot. Red and black leather, and then i went out and bought a shifter straight from honda. ones for the 03 civic si, all i had to do was use my tap and die set and re-tap the short shifter also for a civic and the inside of the shift knob. It looks real damn sharp and its soo comfortable. all biliet aluminum
