Need Help: Shift Knob and Boot
Hi, I am a new owner of an awsome ix evo. The only thing that I hate about the ix versus the mr version is that it's shift knob and shift boot doesn't look all that great. I am sure everyone knows how the 5-spd ix shift knob and boot looks like. I would like to change the boot to look like the fq and mr models. Is there a way to do that? The shift knob is not much of a problem, it's the boot that i hate. Can I just get the MR boot from the factory and install it to the ix. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

If you're looking for a nice shifter boot replacement, try redlinegoods.com. They will custom make a replacement in leather or alcantara. You can also pick the stitching color. They're $40. I have black leather/silver stitching, but I'm planning to switch to black alcantara/red stitching to match the IX interior.
