would a shift boot fit on a tl type s?

 

LOL i was thinking about doing this like a few months ago but then i figured it would be totally tacky i think they are universal so im sure it would fit. ElegantTLS did it on his old accord. be creative... go for it n post pics

 

thanks a lot!

 

hahahaha, trying to clown me?

I'm tempted to try it on the TL..but I dunno...might look weird.

 

BTW, ur from cerritos? what yr and color is ur ride man? what mods?

 

:p :p



@cUr@-TL

 

i got the black tl type s, and right now its completely stock. i have no money so i'm trying to do small things like tinting windows and stuff. then move on slowly with intake, headers, etc.

 

but yea i ordered a black universal shift boot, and i'll be sure to take pictures and show you guys after its installed wether it looks good or not. actually i'm a bit worried too how it'll look.

 

Cerritos? I used to live in Artesia

Ray... dude... I deleted your number by accident... call me when you get this. I have a question for you regarding those front turn signal lights.

 

kinda dumb question wuts a shift boot?

 

on manual cars mostly the thing that goes around the stick.

 

oh, and here is how someone on accordv6.com did it. he has pics and a how to: http://www.v6accord.com/forums/showt...ght=shift+boot looks pretty nice IMO but wouldnt it be weird to have someone in the passanger side of ur car and wonder why ur not shifting?

 

thanks for the link badazzTL, yea it would look pretty weird since everyone knows tl type s only comes in automatic, but i guess if i keep my right hand on the shiftknob and use sportshift it may trick some people

 

Welcome aboard, fellow OC meber.

 

whew man how old is this thread? well anywayz if anyone cares i got the pictures of my car with the shift boot installed. at http://www.cardomain.com/id/jdongmin

 

I love it doode... What up with dat mirror, though...?

 

did u change something on the radio? the way it lights up looks different than stock or is it just the camera angle?

 

The shift boot looks nice! Now, you car looks like stick.

 

woah that looks hella nice. makes me want to do mine. tell me where you got the shift boot and how much plz. did you have any problems installing it? also i see you used the stock shift knob, how did it fit on the base of it? thanx

 

lol yea the mirror is sorta crazy but i got it as a gift so i just put it there. As for the shift boot i got mine on ebay. this one to be exact

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6775

there are lots of others too. I just took off the black plastic ring around the silver plate with a coin on the little handle. Then i used a scissor to cut off parts of the bottom because it was too long. (by the way i'm not doing it the right way, so i recommend you dont do it like me) It was risky because if you cut too much then youre screwed. And well the shift boot already had a hole on top. I just unscrewed the shift knob and surprisingly the small hole was just big enough to cover the crome bottom of the shiftknob AND not being able to go over to the shift knob. but yea, it works great and i love it. thanks for the comments guys.
by the way you probably noticed i put my gear on d5 to make it look more like a manual. haha it was my friend's idea. Thanks for the comments everyone

 

hahaha, cool man. I might just do that for fun also!

I got my car from Tustin also.

 

 

wow it does look different. but nah i didnt change anything its normal green color but i guess. haha tustin all the way. by the way i know you cant really judge the shift boot from that one picture so i took some more and here they are

or hmm my friend tells me the pics dont work. i dunno how to get it to work

 

If I did this mod, my brother would fudge-up the car the first time he took it for a spin... LOL, I can hear him now "man, I know I didn't see a clutch pedal, but how was I supposed to know...?"

 

you can't link to your hard drive like this (file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/James%20D.%20Min/Desktop/3.JPG). You need to have the files linked to another website (http://.....). Like your cardomain site. Not sure if they allow linking though.

 

Ray, I'll :flamer: and :grenade: you if you do this. What are you thinking? :banghead:


Sorry JDM, IMO it's too ghetto. But, hey it's your car so enjoy it and mod it how you like it.
