Ractive Universal Carbon Shift Boot
Tuesday, June 26, 2007 8:35 AM
Ive been looking at getting this shift boot for my Cavy but I didnt want to order it without finding someone on here who has or had that boot on their car, any pics would be much appreciated... Since this is universal, I imagine you just screw the chrome plate right on top of the plastic piece and secure it with some nuts or something on the bottom? How does this fit and look? Also, is it possible to paint or paint over chrome with black paint... Either cover it up completely and make it black or make it black translucent on top of chrome, is this possible, please help. Heres the boot and plate Im talking about.

my friend has this on his cavalier. they look really cheap and his is ripping. i would not suggest getting it. and there really is no way to paint is seeing as its going to be flexing around so much it will flake right off.

How is "it looks cheap and is falling apart" not a good comment?

see, i knew there would be at least one good comment about this boot... Schmidty, did you just screw the plate right on top of the center console piece? Can you show me some pics of it installed on your car?

like i said mine is just...in there i didnt use the plate i was gonna use the stock clip for the boot but mine broke coming out so i took the piece off the console where the shifter is and layed the shift boot in there, put the piece back and snapped it down on top of it so it would hold and yea i will see if i can find a pic im sure i have one somewhere
