Bought a shift boot for a RX8 on the bay and made it fit on my car.

Great job. That looks awesome.

Thanks,it was very easy,the shift boot was only $9.99 and is made of very nice Italian leather.

Leather made from Italians is always good. They've got durable skin.

[in10sive]

looks great - can you please post a DIY

 

[stockey]

Sorry,I am not very good at doing DIYs,maybe if a member that will do it would be kind enough to do one.

 

[KKSX-PR]

how did you made it fit? Send me pm if you can please. Very very nice job btw

 

[AZMX5]

Do you still have the stock boot? I want it!

 

[stockey]

You need to remove the holding ring on the stock boot and put it on the new boot,so the stock vinyl boot is useless without the ring,i think it's in the garbage,sorry.

Nice find... I found this one on ebay:

KIA FORTE 08+ LEATHER SHIFT BOOT red stitch

Not sure what's the difference with the one that you have

 

[stockey]

I saw it to,i prefer mine,that one is more expensive and has stitches at one one place like the oem one,mine has stitches at four places.

Ok I've ordered mine (same as you got), however I have no clue how to remove the existing gear shifter knob and boot cover. Do you have a DIY on this or can you please do a quick write-up? I know that the gear shifter knob can be unscrewed, however once completely up how do I remove it?

 

[stockey]

Just pull the base off with your fingers, very easy,after remove the metal ring from the upper portion of the boot
