Get one of the trim pieces from a 5 speed and use that.

i used a 5 speed piece and cut the thing down right away and it looks very slick, dont bother trying to make a boot work with the auto piece...waste of time...10 bucks for the 5 speed one with boot at any yard

if you want to be EVEN coooooler though..(like me) trade your car in for a manual that will go with the boot

Waist of 10 bux took me about 10 seconds to slap teh manual boot on my car with the auto consoul in there. Guess some peopel arent smart enough to jsut slap it on and push the consoul back on over the boot.

Whats the point of having the appearence of a manual, if it isn't?

This is the interior forum, so I guess its just people want to make their interiors look better, not disguise an auto.

yeah ppl don't do it cause they're trying to look like a manual.. they just want a nice leather boot instead of that stupid looking rod that pops up a foot high to the knob.... of course i'm not speaking for myself.. i have a manual and love it, but if i had an auto i think i would put a bot as well

Whoa whoa, I wasn't giving the guy an attitude if thats what you all thought

I just didn't get why you'd want to give it the appearence of a manual if it wasn't. Then again, I guess everyone has creative ideas

the reason i did it, was on a 99, you only get one cup holder, on a 01+ you get two... it saved my g/f's life, she was about to be killed over it,,,, J/K
