that sucks you couldn't have somehow made something, but i'm sure someone will buy one, find something that will work really good, then tell everyone

We do have something made. We redesigned our original shift boot adapter to work with the Fit shift boot. The new shift boot adapter will not show once installed unlike the original one. Pictures will be posted later today but they won't be pictures of it on the car as we don't have a Fit to model with right now.

Same here. I rather buy them both the same time. I rather feel secure having the shift boot and e-brake boot at the same time than just having the shift boot.

So i recieved my shift boot a week or two ago and i just installed it today. Install was fairly mellow. After some diy fabbing i'm pretty happy with how the boot came out. strutking doesn't send instruction so I'll explain really quick on how to install.
1. remove the two pushpin tabs on the front of the console
2. with a phillips head remove the two screws in the back of the console (you will have to move your seats forward in order to reach them)
3. remove the plastic insert right below your parking brake (don't use a screw driver..the tabs which are located on the bottom of the insert are accessible now and with a little pushing pop the insert right out.)
4. sport model... make sure to unclip the aux input cable and power outlet before yanking out the console
5. remove the console
6. flip the console over and remove the 3 screws holding the shift boot ring in place. then CAREFULLY pull the tabs out of the shiftboot ring...use a flathead screw driver or something to assist getting the tabs out.
7. Next insert the tabs of the new leather shift boot. From here I decided to use a hot glue gun and glued the tabs to the inner side of the shiftboot because after reinstalling everything the tabs slipped out when i didn't glue them.
8. reinstall everything...
Oh and i only paid 30 dollars for mine and that included shipping....not bad at all...It looks a hellofalot cleaner now with the leather shiftboot.
