Default short shifter ?s

will the skunk2 dual bend look like this



or is that set up wrong?

pretty much want to know if the boot will come all the way up to the shift ****, cause the way that setup is, it looks horrendous.

some zip tied the boot, some took the plastic ring off the oem boot and screwed the **** on top of the leather, some glued the boot from the inside

yeah it does look like ****, but it does not bother me much.maybe some zip tie or something might help.

Here's my girlfriend's car. We used two neoprene washers.

Take off the center console, put the neoprene washers on the shifter, slide down past the threads. Put the center console back on, put the shift **** on, and adjust as needed.

They hold up just fine. They're just a rubber washer that gives the shift boot something to rest on.

I don't quite remember, we brought in a spare shifter and test fit them in the hardware store.
