    gear shift boot

    what do you guys think? it's an exact fit on top of the gear shift opening. the width will cover the flat part perfectly, and the length will just cover the opening. I'm not sure about the screw holes you could work with them. they're cheap too. it matches the style of the original too. here's the link http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/P...ift boot plate

    Break out the ol' tape and see if the bolt holes line up to 6-3/8" x 5-1/4".
    That is the dimension from what I see.

    i already did. i figured i could put a couple of dummy bolts in the holes drilled in it, and put a couple more on the sides that would work. maby some nice stainless hex heads or hex button heads. there are ways to use the original as well. i thought it would be a nice dress up item.

    What is wrong with the original boot? Shit, I'm taking some Armorall to mine. But anyhow, seems like you know what to do if it's not a perfect fit. Just put a drill to it & punch a few holes. Just make sure you plug the holes (original) under the boot if they end up there.

    well mine was torn really bad,being twenty years old and all. it looks nice and it's cheap. i figured the trim ring would look nice,you could mount it on top of the console or under it.

    remember I have the old Accord prototype test mule knob that my friend that was in R and D got for me years ago. I had that knob years before I ever got the car. LOL

    eg civic boots fit our cars. You just have to use the stock accord bracket for the boot and take off the civic leather boot and wrapp it over it.
