So everytime you drop it off for an oil change you have to explain, "No, its not broken its an auto... Yeah, I put a boot on to make it look like a manual... Reverse? Uh... 1 clicks back I think...2? I don't know..."

Hey, if it works for ya thats all that matters. I just think it could really cause some confusion and who foots the bill when the dealership drives it through a wall because they didnt check for missing foot pedals?

on all auto cars, there is an indicator in the gauge cluster that tells you if you are in P, R, N, D, 3, 2, or 1. the only "confusion" i would see is if they didnt know to move it to the right and THEN pull down to get out of park

god people are just so ignorant some times. saying the boot conversion is phony is like someone cussing you out for wearing a throwback jersey because youre not shaq so dont wear a jersey with his name on it u ricer
and to the guy up there about the oil change comment any retard with common sense would be able to shift with that boot on going from the tach how it has the gear on there. if you know your car and arent some asshat driving youre moms car you know how many clicks it takes to get the car into reverse.

ya it does look short shifter like, when i had my old obx **** they came with the plastic adapters, i heated mine and slipped it lower on the shaft, it looked real good, but when i had a tear in my boot (my fault for not putting leather cleaner) i had to take it off, also i bought new **** and they came with metal adapters, and i had to cut my plastic one off lol
