1G Custom shift boot review (made by a member here)

I picked up one of the custom shift boots from a member on here in the classifieds.

Just wanted to say I'm really happy with the fit, look, price and install.

Here's a pic with the OEM Evo X final edition shift knob

There was a lot of options for materials and color etc

I think it's suede? I don't know if there's really a difference and surprisingly it's the factory shift boot retainer! Part number is on it

I think maybe because your material is softer it folded over easier. Also mine looked like that on the bottom, with the part number. Maybe yours was in better shape Mine has a split line in it like it cracked or came that way. Still good stuff man, looks good. I love modifying stuff!

I like mine too, but mine needed some serious cutting and trimming to fit flush with my Center console trim. When I first put it on the OEM boot ring it wouldn’t pop all the way in. I had to cut the corner stitching and a few pieces off so it would fit in flush.

After all that though, I’m very pleased with it. Mine also did not include the rubber shifter stop/ring that @Anfurnyy showed.

Still, I like it. But with the thicker leather options like mine just be aware you may have to trim to get it perfect.

Just to clarify, mine didn't come with that collar/ ring either. It was already in my car

man yours looks super clean. I think I'm going to have to spend a little more time on mine my edges are a little wavy, the corners aren't as clean. And around the knob is not quite as nice.

Coming up with a game plan....steam, razor, sharp scissors and contact adhesive . thats my plan.
Trim boot/stitching etc as needed to tuck. Glue contact adhesive as needed to roll edges around lower frame. Re-do upper bit, trim, zip tie as needed

Good work! Although in my defense, I did it real quick half tuned up at 10pm when I got home all excited

**Also same, mine didn't come with anything except the leather shift boot itself. You will re-use the factory pieces for the rest of it

Just want to add in:

Received my shift boot yesterday. Purchased on Monday, received it on Thursday.
Fits perfect, no issues. Not cheap materials, nice thick suede. Couldn't be happier. Now I need a new shift knob.

I got mine, it looks awesome I would defiantly recommend for just 80 bucks
