On to the shifter plate and boot install.

The shifter cover plate fit great too, but I did a little mini mod there. Being a black cf cover was going over a silver piece, inevitably some of the silver was going to show through the two button holes. I could have painted the small bit showing through black, but instead covered the exposed area with Di-Noc. Worked like a charm.

When I installed the shifter boot, I left off the silver trim piece that mates up with the bottom of the shifter knob. I couldn't get the silver piece down low enough on the shifter stalk to engage the knob's locking clip. I just wanted to get the knob locked back on and figured I would do it later as I was starting to get frustrated.

I like the way it looks. The boot snugs right up against the knob, so if you didn't know a trim piece was supposed to be there, you'd think this was the OEM install.
