The first pic looks like the RedLineGoods shift boot (they say they use italian leather so it doesnt wrinkle so much) and the 2nd looks like the factory shift boot. I did the boot conversion from auto to manual and it looks like the 2nd pic, but I love it.

Id like to do a shift-boot conversion (yes my car is auto), but I dont want the boot to be all scrunched up like in the 2nd picture....

If I go to the scion dealer and pick up a shift boot for the stick shift tC, will it fit nicely? Or will it be too tall and end up being all crunched up???

Thanks!
