How does it fit? I LOVE the way the stock one looks but mine is shot. Should I just buy a new stock one? Or should I go aftermarket? Post pics if ya got em.

PS, I have a short shifter

I bought one from juje racing (out of business now, I think) and I was very disappointed. They advertised OEM mounting hardware, which was a lie. It was a very generic boot and I had to make my own rectangular frame for the bottom of it out of a coat hangar. If I were to do it again I would take my old boot to an upholstery place and have them make me one using the old one's hardware and use the old leather as a pattern to cut the new stuff.

I think this CF one might be dicksters, but I dont know for sure. I was trying to find one of mine, and I attached one with it..

I dont really need it, if you want mine, I'll sell it pretty cheap. It just sort of clips under stock I believe, I never really looked at a stock one. Unless the OEM one is actually sewn into the boot?

I also got my mum to make one, made from fake leather/vinyl stuff. All she did was take apart my old shifter, use the pieces as templates, and resew it together and onto the wire.

that's what I'm trying to find out. I like that one from lightning auto customs though.

EDIT:
Yeah so I emailed the people at Lightning Auto Customs and they are custom making me a boot for my short shifter (Black w/ White stitching) for $22.84 Shipped! Awesome customer service.

Not sure. It's the one that Cutrara has and his pic above looks GREAT. I should have it in a few days and I will let you know if it comes with the frame.

Like you said before, the customer service... Best I've ever dealt with. Very very nice and knowledgable people there.

I got a standard one, and trimmed it, and pushed it downs around the shifter because the look reminds me of the MR2 shift boot.

Mine didn't come with the frame, I just took my old one and pushed it on the bottom of the boot and snapped it in. It looks, feels, and works great. I also had to use my stock shifter ring, and just hot glued it in. That pic doesn't do it justice, especially after I put too much Armorall on it, it looks too shiny in that pic.

Your black with white stitching will look great though, I wanted something stock looking, with a subtle custom feel, when you look closely at it.

Post pics when you install it!

i have one like mac's, and an old red vynal one my buddy gave me off his cav. I had to cut the metal ring out of the original one to get it 2 fit and it fits fine. And to be honest, most shift boots, even the momo and sparco ones, are the exact same thing. Momo and sparco just put a lil polished aluminum ring around the top where the knob comes down, and slap the word MOMO or Sparco on it and sell em for like $80 each.
