Aftermarket shift knob with short throw shifter and factory boot

haha.. okay.. looks a bit weird IMO. Doesn't flow with the nice interior. Hopefully this is VERY temporary!

This is the ring I am talking about for you guys that are wondering:

Shift knob experimentation!....>>

And this is another option I'm going to try that Steve (Modshack) used with the same knob as mine:

370z shift knob question

I do really like the feel of the way I have it now, though, so I'm going to work on the aesthetics over the weekend to see if I can get some of you jokers to appreciate.

Really, though, keep the comments coming... negative or positive. The more input on how to make it better the better...

Photoshop if what it might look like if the spacer matched and was a little shorter.

I have the ability to raise the boot a bit as the grommet acts like a stop.

I improved on the initial attempts...Ordered a Redline Goods leather shiftboot. YOu can spec them shorter if neeed . Only $60 with many choices of leather color and customization. The smaller hole fits the shaft perfectly and Hugs the Knob bottom. I ordered a 350Z one and it fit with very little modification:

I used the Redline shift boot in my 8 when I did the short shifter. I got it in pacific blue (same color as the rest of the interior) and it matched perfectly. Great buy in my opinion
