1-take the shift **** off
2-wrap the shifter with some electrical tape to where you can pull the shift boot up and it will rest on top of the tape.
3-put on shift ****
4-send bishop $19.99 to his paypal account...bishop@mywebsitesucks.com

i've actually used the 97 CTR way taking off the boot and screwing in a nut so the boot stays up then putting the boot back on and screwing on the ****. its also a killer way to keep your shift **** on without some **** trying to unscrew it off.

I got a bottle of robitussin, took the cap (washed it really well) drilled a hole thru the top same Dia. of the shifter actually a bit smaller. shoved the cap on and pulled the boot up and over. at the top of the boot there is a plastic thing.. I took that off? has never fallen or sagged again and if you later want to show off your shifter you don't have any residue from the tape...

use double sided window tape by 3m, its as sticky as **** and basically like moldeable rubber. Its also pretty thick and can also be used for sound dampenening noisy license plates from bass

Is it just me or did all your interior change color from the first picture to the second.. hmmmm... Use your imagination! Any of these methods would work.. Duct tape solves everything.. I used it yesterday to fix my carpet.. The people that had my car before me have no ******* idea on how to take care of a car.. im a little upset about it too!

Get a jdm shift boot. Seems to sit higher than stock.

BTW: Nice CF kit.
