Ok, I hate my stock boot, it sucks ***, its stuck in its old wrinkled pattern, so it looks like crap the way I have it now. But if I do anything else with it, looks worse. So im looking for a new one, & I really like the stock RSX boot, they look really nice. This pic is old, but its pretty much how it looks now.



I'm not paying 50 bucks for a Momo one, & I dont even like the way they look. So I was wondering how hard it would be to rig a stock RSX boot in there, I think it would have the desired effect. I was thinking of putting a Crown Royal bag in there, but that would be kinda ghetto & i'd look like an alcoholic, hehe.

This is what Im going for...



...with my momo ****. I was about to buy one of these guys boots, but I heard that company screws people.

So Im willing to tinker with it, cut it up & stuff, if I can get a used RSX one, so the tabs dont really have to fit or anything, I'm just wondering if theyre the same diameter, etc...

Thanks guys.

Edit: Damn these pics turned out HUGE!!!

Won't work with Momo Shift *****.
Just get Black Leather momo leather boot and match it.
I think it will be worth it.

It's really up to you.
I am sure you can make boot stay up with zip ties , but It won't look right with momo shift *****.

i'm wondering if the boot wil fit in the console, I know the tabs wont work perfect, but I dont mind rigging it, if itsclose to the same size.

I hate the momo ones & theyre too expensive.


Edit: shy is my sig not showing up anymore??

i actually have a DC2 Type R boot in my car, i found out from experience that custom boots are not fun to put in. I really just stuffed it under the trim ring, seems to work ok.



I also don't recommend the shift **** if you live where it gets hot, that ****er burns your palm when you first grap it, does make you shift fast though

Hawk, how much did you get that shift **** for? How does the ring for the shift boot stay up there so snug like that?
