Cool, just remember that boot might need to be ordered and I don't think they offer anything else but ground shipping, unless you call maybe, so it might be a couple weeks before you get it, especially since you're out west and they are in the East.

Does anyone have pics of their shift boots. I know it's a strange request but I'm doing the auto2six conversion and I have the short shifter and want ideas on the shift boot. Especially if someone has a pic of the OEM boot with a short shifter that would be great.
Unless Acura has changed the part, their OEM boot is plastic. I want to keep my car stock, but I couldn't see paying $55 for a plastic boot when I was able to get the OEM look in real leather for less, which is why I went to the trouble of having one made. The new boot looks like the old boot only better, i.e., it is black leather with black stitching and is very soft.ALoneR said:
I don't see the boot listed on redlinegoods.com yet, but they kept my old boot as a template so if you email them, they should be able to make more.
My OEM boot was torn, which is how I found out it was plastic. Although when I put the two boots side-by-side, then it is obvious.ALoneR said:
Anyway - here's a link to the leather boot: http://www.redlinegoods.com/Legend9195shiftboot.shtm
They cost $40. The boot in the picture is from my car. The boot you see in all the install instruction pictures is the new leather boot as well since I took the pictures after I installed the new boot into the center console.

I used momo-not a direct fit but with a little effort[and cutting]it will fit underneath the stock plastic automatic trim ring nicely and I used model screws to attach it to the underside.I had to improvise since swapping auto to 6,and I think it was the easiest way plus I like that screws onto the bottom of the knob.Also I used a gsr shifter for shorter throw and double bend. Will try to post pics
