Default Custom Shift ****

My girlfriend got me a green lantern shift **** from www.koolknobs.com quality is great, and other than the gap it leaves between the boot and the ****.. it fits great.

So basically what I am asking is does anyone have an idea of what could be used to fill in the gap??

Couple pics of it...

I always hated how that finisher thing at Home Depot smelled. It had a strong smell of rubber. That will work though.

Hmmm, mine's been in the car for maybe 9 months and I've never had any smell from it. Maybe there are different brands? I got it at Lowe's.

I made a piece for it on the prototyping machine we have at school... it made it in blue plastic, so I sanded it and painted it flat black... turned out good, ill post some pics of it when I get my camera out of the car.
