Default Redline auto shift boot...

Fits like ****! I tried a few different ways to install it but its just way too big, looks smashed and its hard to shift the car. Stuff is pricey for such bad fitment. I dont have any pictures because I already pulled it back off it looked so ugly.

I can trash talk all I want when I pay $50 for a leather boot that isnt even close to fitting. Im not the only one with this problem.

BIG +1 on that.

Could be that you maybe received a wrong one(for another model).

All mine redline stuff a super and fits perfect, and the customer service is great.
