Whats your take on the A/T shift boot DIY
I was thinking of doing the A/T shift boot add on DIY ,but was wondering what you all think about it. Is it ricey,cool ,or whack. I need to get the shift knob as well. Whats your take on this? Thanks

it's pretty damn whack. it's an auto, leave it alone. automatic cars dont need shift boots unless it's made by chevy. for some reason impala's, monte carlo's, and trailblazers all have boots on their auto trannies, it looks stupid. it looks just as stupid in accords.

whats stupid about it? people change rims, tires, body parts, bumpers hoods to make a plain car look better, why is the shift knob that only he is going to see any different?

somtimes it can be pulled off alright. other times, it looks plain tacky.
I don't think I'd do it, but its not like its gonna hender/help. its just one of those mods we've all done for the sake of doing.

are we talking about adding a leather boot to an automatic shifter? If so .. I'm with 98CoupeV6, that's pretty brutal.
Swapping an automatic knob is one thing that's perfectly fine ... but making your auto look like a stick? Might as well toss on a Type-R badge.
