auto to manual look conviersion

how can this be done? i've seen it before but you have to buy that manual honda piece. can't you somehow make a vinyl boot for the auto shifter and "tuck" into the one that is already on there??

Are you talking about a auto to manual conversion and not the other way around?

why? cuz it looks 100X's better than the oversized stock shifter. thats the reason i did it.
no you dont have to buy the manual trim piece you can tuck it in, i did. it will look more "real" if you get the manual piece though, but i didnt want to spend more money than i had to on this mod cuz like i said i just wanted to get rid of the stock ****.

How do you see the gears? It seems like the leather casing is covering them, do you just look at your speedometer to see what your in?

Trying to make it look like a standard is pretty lame..you should have just got a standard.
