ghetto shiftboot

ghetto shiftboot

sup, i just got a new shiftknob and i wanted a new shiftboot to finish it all up, problem is every shiftboot at my local shops (autozone, etc) are too damn expensive, is there ne way i can make 1 myself, it doesnt have to be perfect.... i was thinkin just cutting a circle out of cloth and cutting a hole in the middle for the knob, ne1 who might have done this or knows of a way, let me kno how u did it

fell free to post thoughts and comments

i don't know about making your own but i got my shift knob and boot in a set for $20 at Pep Boys...





...of course my car is an auto so the boot sits kinda funny.

i got my knob seperately tho, thats the problem the boots either come in a set like that or are just standalone ones for like 15 bucks

and wtf happened 2 ur carpet in the first pic, that looks grimey as hell

it's been snowing alot here so there was a mixture of snow, water and dirt on the mats...

...and of course there is that hole from where my heel pivots on

hey bulletproof - i just purchased a set of boots from ebay...and it was like $15 for a shift AND ebrake boot.

the honda boots will work with our cars.

ebays is a haven for cheap stuff but i would hate to WAIT for something i can buy at my local walk-mart......being impatient and poor sucks

I bought mine from autobarn.net (or .com..I forget)..was under 30 bucks for a leather boot.

lol...you'll find that patience is a virtue. you know my kit sat in the basement for like 6 months before it got paint and was installed?

atleast u had it and cud admire it for the time being

i just got a DVD case and cut it to shape of my shift boot panel. After that, i used a razor blade to cut out a square for the shift positions. It looks great especially with the TWM shifter, but i'll have to remake mine because i cut the square a little off position.

And jiggaman, clean your floormats man

This is my shift boot I got from ebay. It actually matched the car. Looks just like stock.

fuck it, i went out and bought a shiftboot 2day

lol...the rest of the car is actually really clean...i just need some new floor mats.

ONLY because i saved up for it. the car was stock for a year before i could afford to do anything to it.

i guess u kno the feeling then, huh

i know it rather well...just be patient and save...don't go and ghetto up your car.

Amen........
