Yes/No What You Think..Pics

First off i'm really sorry for the pic quality i suck big style at photography but i think you will get the idea, ok for a while now i've tried various methods of changing the look of my gear shifter but TBH they ain't really come out right, this is my latest attempt and TBH i can't think of any other ways of changing it, anyway, what do you think, keep it or get rid.

my honest opinion is, i don't think it looks good at all. but since at least a couple people here think it looks cool, maybe i'm wrong. i think the boot looks a little too scrunched up is the main reason.

I agree with you on the fact that the boot looks scrunched up when there is suppose to have room to move like a spring. personall i would make the shifter a bit shorter and put in a black leather boot.

the knob doesn't look bad (it does seem to go with the interior)

but the boot looks (as was already said) well....like someone sat on it

too squished...

Not bad. Then again, I actually really like the stock shift boot.

It'd probably look great with a short shift kit.

Looks great but maybe you could pull the bottom of the boot up just a tad so it looks more factory installed. Don't keep us in suspense how did you do it??
