i dont care if its an auto or an A6 that looks half assed and outa place. take the boot off until u can take the time to get the fit n finish right. not my car so i dont care but since u have ur flame suit on i think u can take MO

LOL, you guys are rough! Let's see... good looking interior or good quarter mile times? I wasn't going to get pricey on a good looking shifter boot until I knew I could make what I had work. The boot was a cheapo $10 boot from Autozone... and yes it works. My fiance has a SS Trailblazer... I like the shifter boot on it so now I think I'll try to find one and use it. The flame suit was definitely strapped on tight after I made this thread, so I'm not burnt up too bad after the comments. I'll eventually get back to tidying it up, and post some pictures then... as for now... *checks to make sure flame suit is still tightened up* Let 'er rip bitches!! LOL. Thanks for all the comments anyways, got some more ideas if nothing else.

The shift boot in my car was $20 at Pepboys (some years ago). Your boot can look better too with some trimming and hiding the zip tie. You don't have to spend any more money to make it look better.
