Re: Old Skool rubber boot?

I think the rubber boots are cool too, but they are mostly for cars or pickup trucks with the big long shifters that come up out of the tunnel. The boot goes up from the floor to the shifter rod.

If you find one to fit the stock 3rd gen console, I would be interested to see how it looks. But I cant picture it working in these cars, unless you remove the center console and just carpet the floor.

Re: Old Skool rubber boot?

i've seen 1 around where i live before, i didn't catch the guy before he left to ask about it tho.. it looked really cool and i just looked at autozone and they have a "universal" boot that looks like it, and i was thinking about maybe cutting it to fit?... i'm a newbe to the automotive world.. idk if i've got what it takes to fab one up to fit right.. the t handle fits right on there but it looks strange with the boot i got on now so i just said scrap it till i can find a boot..

Not sure which ones would fit exactly, but I'm sure a little parts number research would help with that
