SILVER SHIFT BOOT!, Anyone? Options

[Guest_Jason_*]

Anyone know where I can get a silver shift boot? Not grey but silver. Something preferably other than Pep Boys since I have an automatic, it has to be slightly bigger to fit around the base.

Wait I meant to put this in "Interior"... oops. Sorry i'm... high on love. Ok, but I really need a shift boot in Silver, whether its for 5spd or Auto. ty

According to this site momo makes a silver shift boot - and this site seems to be selling them, although they look more like grey in the pictures . . .

Also, this site is selling a silver boot for the honda S2000. I'm not sure if it would fit, but looks to be very good quality.

Another possiblity might be to buy a shift boot from somewhere like JC Whitney (this one or this one) and paint it the exact colour you want using model spray paint. Or even buying silver leather/vinyl and getting it made up (shouldn't be too expensive). Although your plan of buying one from a store would be a lot easier

As a side note, I see all the new BMW automatics are now coming out with leather 'manual style' shift boots.

Here's a pic of the new 5 series auto with a leather shift boot. The pic was a bit too big to post.

Actually, I bought a shift knob from a company called Levoc (I believe thats what it was?) that makes Automatic Shift Knobs for Nissan/Toyota's with Overdrive. It costed me 90$ but its chrome with black leather to fit my interior. I hear its a pain in the ass swapping Knobs on Automatics, so i'm preppin myself.
