Damn, your interior looks great. The thing I hate about momo shift ***** is the shape, I can't stand a pistol grip or anything like it. I like just a ball that my palm can sit on top of while I shift.

Very nice interior! I've considered the SFR kit for the 951 I'm getting, my only question was, what do you do for the shifter boot? The one on my car is worn anyway, do you just get the MOMO boot that screws onto the ****? Also, does the SFR improve the shift quality any? Mine is stiff and rubbery, I'd like it a little smoother if possible.

I've got one and really like it.

puppy: Take the old boot and bend it inside itself on the top of the stick. Use a zip tie to pull it snug to the stick. Install **** of your choice and tighten down. Sounds more difficult than it actually is. If my car was here I'd get a pic for you.

Happy driving!

I use the speed 6 version which is basically the same thing... except the Speed 6 one is 100$. I love mine it lowers the **** a lot and makes the shifts feal more crisp.

Go for it either one is nice

Thats what I have is the momo boot. You will have to cut it down in order for it to fit but it makes a nice look for the car.

Scott, so essentially, you turned yours inside out? Sure makes the color match issue easy!

Put the boot on the stick w/o the ****. Now pull the wide end of the boot over the top of the stick where the **** would go and expose the raw/inside of the boot at the top of the SFR stick. Take a zip tie and cinch that top inside out part of the boot. Pull the boot down into it's normal, finished side exposed, position and install ****. Believe me, it's harder to explain w/o visuals than to actually do. I used the Momo Combat **** in all black leather which matches the boot which matches the leather in the car. The Combat also doesn't have gaudy lettering all over it and thus the whole thing looks fairly stock.

Found a terrible picture. Excuse the dirty car. I've since changed the seats to leather and will be ordering new mats soon.
