cf boot, wtf

have you not seen this before? it's been around for a long time. when it's done with actual carbon cloth it is badass, but carbon snags really easy and looks like crap pretty quick.

ya man thats fuin sweet, i like it, nice job

haha thanks a lot, it took a bit of creativity to get the idea rolling but it's a very simple but rewarding visual enhancement. also, i creased up the shift boot so that when i shift into d, the boot doesn't scrunch to the side like it did before. now its all symmetrical anytime i shift

I love it. It's the perfect size IMO. It is threaded, but you have to trim off the clips that held it onto it's original shift boot.

I'll try to get a better picture of it tonight or tomorrow.


Here's the copper edition one, it shows the clips on the bottom you have to cut off:

There's like... NO other autos on this besides the post above me, haha!

well, I guess it's about time automatic transmissions start getting represented, starting with the post above me, and mine. I hope this inspires some automatic folks that you can do something with autos besides just a shift knob.

I'm using:
-90-91 Accord automatic transmission shift knob (I like it because it's not plain like the 92-93's, and I like playing around with the button haha)
-Black vinyl shift boot from eBay intended for MT, adapted to my AT setup.

Before shift boot install:


After shift boot install:


Going for a more luxurious, fuller look for my interior, and that bare stick was an eyesore for me. I spraypainted the black shifter molding to silver metallic to emulate the look of shift plates from luxury line cars



I wanted the shift boot feel, but i also wanted something that wouldn't hide the gear indicator lights. Then I saw this in a parking lot one time and I figured out the solution.


The shift boot definitely makes shifting way funner, even in an automatic, because it provides some resistance when you shift and the creaking of the vinyl satisfies my desire for a manual (the sound, haha!), and I can't imagine my car without it anymore. Looking back at before and after pictures, it really does fill in the void around that area and makes it look so much better than just a bare stick.

That actually looks good. You did a much better job then trying to make your automatic look like a manual. Man i wish i would have taken the black auto shift knob from the 91 SE yesterday i would have given it to you to complete the look you have going on.
