i bought the ctr ( same as the itr just a little different base.) i had to cut the bottom off and make my own style of the little flaps on the bottom. i can give you a step by step on how to do it. it take like 20 mins. that's being very very careful on the cuts and measuring like 87932659823752358 times! i got pics if you want them just pm me for the pics!!

step by step
1. when you get the boot it should be already set in a metle base. take it out of there by removing the staples.
2 once you have done that you willsee you are going to have the stock ep3 "tabs" little flaps of the material on the bottom.
3. now take your stocks hift book from your car and place it ageinst the ep3 one. you will see the difference.
4. now all you have to do is make the bottomn of the ep3 boot look the same as the stock boot. measur and cut slowly man.
5.easy way put the stock boot on top of the ep3 boot and trace the lines
6. install that hoe. slid your new tabs that you cut and place them inside the stock base area you will see what i man when you get to doing it. stuff that shiz in there nice and tight. and then shift away pics coming soon but u shoudlent need them to get started.

if you need to find the boot i can pick one up for u and then sell it to you. my boy gets them cheep so ill sell it to you at the normal price

Um.. think im going to hold off. Most likely go with the euro CTR boot or the jdm CTR. This one one looks clean.
