I kid I kid, enjoy the mod.
no, that's not why I changed it... I did it because the OEM one is big and ugly... this one sits alot lower.

I'm more confused now, why do you need a shift boot on an auto? Wouldn't that block out the shift pattern if you take your car for valet or if someone else is driving? I can understand the shift knob though I guess, but the boot kills me.

Here is a pic of an auto with a boot, it's not needed it will just dress up the area if you don't want to cut the shaft to make it lower. If someone else drives your car and doesn't know the auto gear pattern of P-R-N-D, then they shouldn't be driving at all.

That's a G not a Z but it does look good.

Gear display is shown digital on the lower portion of the tach P-R-N-D and the gear you are in is shown in manual mode. I am thinking about installing a boot just to clean up the look of the shifter. The giant circle with small selector slot just looks ugly to me.
