Default shift boot tryout

Test fitted perforated, grey leather shift boot.
easy to remove and easy to install.
what do you guys think?
Should I stay with this color?

Not feeling it at all. Doesn't match anything. It sticks out to much.

I think the titanium nismo shift know would help it out.

+1 on losing the stock ****. With a light colored boot, I would look for something silver in a shift ****.

that looks very cheap and likely takes the value of the car down.
the whole perforated thing doesnt go well at all. it may be in the leather seats but it looks cheese on your shift boot.
the colour really brings it down too, like someone said maybe try black with red stitching or orange to match your black n orange stitch seats (if thats what u have).
not feelin it tho man, go back to stock for now

I've seen a lot of shift boot colors and variations, pretty much anything other than black (or red if you have red seats) does not look good. I just restitched my oem boot with orange thread to match my leather seats and I think it looks decent.

Also, maybe if you paint the bezel and **** silver parts black it will cut down on the contrast. Just looks too busy right now IMO too many close colors.
