red stiched shift boot that fits our 4th gen ludes for cheap?

and possibly a red stiched knob as well....
I found one on ebay, but I don't know if I should get it, because it seems expensive...whats the normal price for one of these?

Don't most people just modify the JDM itr red stitched shift boot? That's what I'm doing. I'm getting it for around $40cdn so it's pretty affordable. I think David at R&D sells them for about $30us.

I don't know but it would look awesome with a new short shifter.

Normal price is 35-40 bucks, for the JDM CTR boot, and it's REAL easy to make it work w/ the 4th Gen shift console... takes about 20 minutes in your driveway.

http://www.handa-accessories.com/ has them brand new for cheap. 30 bucks for Red Stiched Knob.

http://www.inlinefour.com has the shift boot for 40 brand new.

Ebay is about right then.

you guys think this boot

would work well with this shift knob, (as in the knob will fit right into the boot whole)

will it work on the 4th gen??????????

I have that exact boot on my 4th gen. Since our shifter rods taper out, the black, plastic ring on the top of the boot won't go down past a certain point, and is held up just perfectly, IMO. I don't know if the knob will hold up the boot even higher, as I'm using the JDM ITR knob, and there's only about .25-.5" metal showing.

Silicone that ****....or u can be ghetto and use Elmers

IMO i think boots that leave metal showing are no good. I have my Momo carbon fiber Cobra knob...im just gonna put it on to try it out and then Im asking for a Momo boot for Xmas. If the boot doesnt fit, glue that sh!t.

There's no way in f@ck I'd use anything to bind the boot to the titanium ITR knob... NO way. That knob is a piece of art compared to anything else made that can fit on a Honda shifter, IMO. It makes the Mugen & Spoon knobs look like cracker jack toy prizes.
