I have the MOMO crystal **** also. Just take a ZIP Tie and tighten it around the boot and push it up close to the ****. This holds it perfectly and you woudlnt know the difference.

Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

$50 buys you the matching MOMO Performance boot that is designed to screw into the bottom of the ****. It's also textured leather as opposed to cheap vinyl.... looks much cleaner.
I've got this in my car...
That pic wasn't intended to highlight the boot so it's not a close up, but you can see how it threads onto the ****.

On the bottom of the ****, you will notice there are threads for the finishing collar that comes with the ****. Inside the top of the boot, there is a collar (look closely, there's a rigid conical section at the top of the boot) that threads onto the threads on the ****. You don't use the finisher, instead the boot just screws on. Only disadvantage... but because of the design of our center consoles, you must screw the boot onto the **** after it is installed in the shifter panel. Then from underneath, you can screw the panel back into the center console. It's a little bit of a pain, but nothing major. Also be ready to trim the boot to fit. It's a little work, but I think it was worth it.
