im wondering if this shift boot will fit our car....i want to replace mine but the mugen one thats made for the fit looks god awful and the top of the boot doesnt fit snugly on the stick so it makes it look just horrible. ive also seen and held both of these in person and this one is just way way nicer....

so if anyone knows if it will fit please lemme know.
and thanks to jhp for lending me the image

 

No, not even close. I bought one and had to do some major work to make it fit, it looks good but it was way to much work.

 

Took me 2 min of modifying to get it to fit perfect.

 

chris could you please explain the modifications nessesary and maybe take a pic of the final result for me prettttty plzzzzz

 

Im not gonn pull everything off for a pic. but 1 drill and 3 holes and presto.

 

oh no i didnt mean like what you drilled just like what it looks like now. ie sit in car and take a snap shot of the shift knob etc. ty

 

yeah,ill second that.

edit: i'm gonna borrow chris sorry!

 

That is the 96-00 Integra Type R boot I had.. didnt fit too well. I know have the FA5 06-09 Civic Type R boot and it fit perfect by drilling in a couple holes and screwing it in.

fits like this around the edges...

 

screw drilling around that area. I'm just going to get the Mugen boot. It looks the exact same.

 

yeah but 100 dollars for mugen boot or 40-50 for CTR boot?

if you wanna pay for it go ahead.


chris: so the CTR boot fit in the inner silver ring? or did you cut it?


-Ricky

 

I'll pay the extra for a sure fit, and the Mugen name lol

 

ugh........Spoon FTW!!!!

 

Actually the 08 Si boot is the same as the Type R boot and is only like $20 from Honda. $20 or $100.... $20 please! I trimmed the inner ring with a dremel and it fit perfect!

 

oh ok that's what i thought thanks chris!

In for the pics...
