Found a shift boot with type s embroidered on it

30 bucks on amazon. Made for civic type s and sold from the United Kingdom but fit perfectly around the trim and tucks perfectly into my new Radar Mount countersunk and dampened shift knob that already lowered the knob about an inch (I did a review on it as well as it is the favorite shifter ive tried feel wise for the car.... this boot with type s embroidery just adds a nice look and it's real leather.

Excessive considering the Type S already on the shifter bezel.


Looks like the shitty Type S crap from Pilot Automotive sold at all the automotive stores around town.


Plus it takes away from the vape juice

glad you think so...lets see your shifter? I like the look and the type s is identical to how it looks on the trim not like the s you can find at parts shores....the cars in neutral so it's just folded here it is in first.

Before it got tucked though.

Anyways someone show me theirs that lools better....everyones quick to criticize.....i was just tryin to help. I dont find this excessive since type s is only on the trunk shifter trim and now boot.

Are you new to the internet? When you post something, you'll get criticism and/or you'll get likes. People will land on both sides of the spectrum.


Are you just expecting everyone to like every mod you do to your car? At the end of the day, it's your car and if you like it, that's all that matters... Stop being such a about criticism.

you are absolutely right a shift boot is so minor....my stock boot was sooo worn and I had already went to this aftermarket plain black one that was a piece of shit and didn't fit right......the fitment of this new one is perfect which is why I'll keep it. Here's what I replaced and mayb some of you will agree that yeah this is better.......

Can you say pure garbage



and I couldn't do it driving around with a dick in my hand.....too funny.

Acura leather is definitely known to be of the shittiest quality so not surprising at all.

this is truth and proof by all of the people with ripped seats....lucky i guess to have found a wreck with mint leather seats or id be one of those people too....i actually wore down 2 stock boots and the stock knob before trying aftermarket....
.the shine of the rubber rubs off first then it just tears through....we agree acura oem leather = mostly junk.

Good to know..they have a plain black one that looks to fit identically as the one I just got but has blue stitching but im sure there's different options if I search 3rd gen tls. I hate boots that aren't made to fit a honda because they are always too big and require trimmimg.....i know everyone isn't wild about the type s logo even though I like it but the fitment is spot on. I'll stick with it until i mess it up
