Getting rid of that hidious cv boot looking manual gear surround

[clubby_you]

just changed my clubby to a manual and could not stand the look of the rubber gear boot so went to super cheap bought a $30 leather surround and put it in the result (IMO) look 10 million times better for only a couple of minutes of playing around

Cheers Doug

What do you think..?


horrid factory surround

my after market leather surround :yeah:

That really does look a heap better. Looks like I might be doing the same very soon.

Werent the VR/VS factory gearboots leather anyway? I thought only the VN/VP had that rubber boot, shown in the first picture??

came out of a 95 s1 vs clubsport that rubber pos

Nope - my VR II Exec has the industrial rubber, too. It's on my to-fix list...

I guess it depends on your style I personally prefer the standard boot. 100x better than anything else!!

Nice looking gearknob, though....is it stock?

Hi Mort

Nah, yer on yer own with that opinion. The rubber one looks like it came from a Camira. Definitely not classy enough for your Stato.:hit:

To the OP, you need a new camera phone. Those photos are shithouse.....:yeah:

Look at it this way morton, you could save some more weight by using cloth over that big piece of rubber.

 

[Morton]

lol 50LTRv8, you can only take weight saving so far I hate the look of 90% of cloth/leather boots people end up making themselves. I like old styles

Seeker, the knob was a random one I found at some auto parts store Apparently it was a special order that someone then didn't want. Can't remember what brand! It's matt leather with brushed metal. I love it
