Default Finally! Shift boot for auto xB

Thats right, I just installed my auto shift boot from www.scionshoppe.com

The install takes all of about five minutes - super easy. The boot allows the shifter to run through its full motion (P through L)

I also got an e-brake boot from the same people.

They both match the seats, which are also from scionshoppe.

Here are a couple pics, I'll try to get a few more this week.

I actually like that. Very nice. At first I wasn't too sure about it, but it came out very clean looking. Great job!

Yeah, contact them for colors. There are plenty.

Also, be sure to tell them you want an auto - the boots are different for the manual. These are new and do not appear to be on the site yet.

I dont know man, sometimes I think people who buy automatics should just suck it up and deal with it. If you wanted it to look like a stick you shoulda bought a stick. With that being said dont explode. It looks super clean and much nicer than I ever expected. I actually like it. The important thing is you like it and you keep moddin your ride! Ultimately, nice work man!

Thanks for the compliments. I am not trying to fool anyone into thinking I have a manual, as evidenced by the fact that I did not change the shift ****. I just wanted to clean it up a bit down there and continue my theme.

If and when you contact them, ask for the auto boot. It's new and apparently not on the site yet, and it IS different than the manual boot.

It installed in about five minutes. Remove rear screw from console, lift up, put on boot, tuck in the area between bezel and shifter and reinstall console. Super simple.

Just saw this threed...Thx for helping us Auto folks out...I got tired of driving a 5 speed over the last ten years so I decided on automatic...There is nothing wrong with putting a shift boot on an automatic to make it look a little nicer...I don't think us auto owners are trying to make it look as if were driving a 5 speed...Thx for the pics!

I emailed them about the envy green shift boot, I hope they have them, they look awesome for an easy auto mod. Also, how did you get the boot to stay without sliding down?
