Exactly. I just like the clean look. That auto plate/boot combo is ugly and outdated.

The one e90joee mentioned is the one I got from Turner Motorsports. http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-31...alcantara.aspx This is a direct replacement for your existing plate/boot combo.

Later I'll post pics for installing a fake clutch pedal to complete the whole "I'm actually trying to look like I've got a real manual transmission." poser DIY lol
I should have said I want a manual boot but in a custom color. For people like me, it seems, we will need to ALSO source a plastic piece / ring.

It does look a lot better without it & it makes the center look more sleek.
I don't see this as standard transmission posers

That's odd, it doesn't show up on my computer for some reason.

Other photos I can see

Im assuming that parts a must, i tucked it in on the side but it hits against it when i change from park to drive or vice versa. Does anyone know a way to delete it? Can it be coded out?
Still available?

Lol If anything I want to remove the shifter plate and resurface it as it has some scratches.

I have never looked at my auto shift boot and said to myself, man, this looks outdated and ugly. It looks like a shifter to me and it works well haha. I like having the illuminated indicators.
