Its for my accord, but same idea... used CL parts

You'll recognize the base chrome piece, from the 98-99 autos. The top piece is from a CL-S manual boot to match the knob. The material for the boot is faux suede for automotive upholstery (has nice woven backing)... the flash makes it look grey, but its black. The boot is hand stitched to the chrome base... took some time but worth it.

Heres the result:



I have a screw driver holding the knob up inside... i'll get more pics once its in the car to show the real height of the shifter.

 

cool... its clever

 

is that an s2k shift knob in the back?

 

Red x's are pimp!

 

nice...

i like that shift knob in the back

 

no i think s2k ones are different. i drove one the other day at work and i cant really remember. and the av6 one is different too. i think thats like a type-r style shifter.

 

yea, just a "type R" knob in the back... the early S2K knobs are very similar but have the 6 speed shift pattern on the top and have more of a "balloon" shape, getting very narrow at the base. The newer S2K, TSX, TL and Accord 6-speed knobs have the band leather wrapped around them.

 

heres a direct link for the pic if you're getting an X

I actualy have the Authentic shift knob in your backround with a authentic euro r boot. loks nice the red stiching on the boot is nice with the sued.

 

yea, i was gonna double stitch the front 2 seams with either red or grey (red car and grey interior) but I dont have the patience to sew 4 perfectly straight lines... haha.
