the boot was a black suede leather (went with it cuz it was cheaper but it honestly looks nicer) and a dc sports style black chrome shift knob which goes rather well with my black paint job. I was worried about it looking flashy or ricey, but it looks pretty modest while still looking good. Ill get pics up whenever my dad gets back in town so i can use his camera.

P.S. I know i need to vaccum. But the combo doesn't look bad considering I spent 20 bucks on the boot and knob.

not too huge on the boot but the knob looks [sm=smiley20.gif], i remember back when i didn't know anybetter, i bought a ractive boot and shift knob for 50 bucks... had the boot on for two weeks, and the knob on for about 3 months then took them off and went back to OEM Toyota[8D]

Hey man, not getting mad just wondering, why don't you like the boot? What kinda boot do you have? Can you post any pics, cuz if i think it looks good, I might wanna get one...
Thanks for the comments

Unfortunately i dont have pics the boot just reminds me of the one i bought for my old car. it was one of those ****ty ones that you just tie over the one you have. you know the wallmart kinda deal. and i personally like the look of the leather ones. i am more of an OEM look kinda guy. but for $20 i agree it is worth it man

This one doesnt go over the one I had...It's a suede type leather thing. It feels nice. But thanks for the input
