Default How to properly attach my shift ****

Hey all, my first post here. Got me a silver EP3 a week ago today, and I already started mildly modifying it. Here's what i've got so far:

Thanks!

Buy the JDM boot. Its $40 and its made to fit a **** like that. The rubber part is longer and the trim piece is slightly different. Go over to EPhatch. That forum has alot more EP guys than over here on HT

Okay, I've been looking around and it doesn't seem as though everyone has the JDM boot. To those people: how'd you do it?

I thought about that, but I want it so that I can easily swap in between the three that I have if I ever want to use them (stock, skunk2 and greddy). Honda and those bastard clips on the stock ****...
