shift boot question...

what's good!!

not quite sure how to "title" this post, so hopefully someone will be able to help.

I recently got a jdm shift knob from Japan, which I'm assuming is from the "RS" model as it is 6speed. there's a plastic clip on the bottom of the knob which doesn't fit onto the stock US manual shift boot..

question: wondering if anyone knows where I can get a jdm (possibly "rs") shift boot. oooor of anyone knows of another boot that I can retro fit to make the jdm shift knob work.

any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance

just use zipties. :) all it takes usually.

i have the blue stitching one i bought from bernardi or collegehills, i forget. i really like that leather knob.
the blue stitching also matches the display and all.

I've used zipties in the past as well!! just looking for a shift boot that will accommodate the new shift knob.
