It does look better, but it may be confusing for people using your car (ie. friend, valet); since they'll thinks it's a manual and not know where to move it since there's no markings.

Interesting...

What stopped you from getting the manual in the first place? Doesn't it have more HP than the auto? Traffic hassle? I know sometimes when I sit there in 5 o'clock traffic and my left leg is throbbing I think to myself "I'd kill for an automatic right now"

I agree that if you ever valet the car, there might be some "confusion."

BTW, adrian-1, you don't necessarily have to see the markings covered by the boot; just look at the dash, it tells you what gear you are in.

Oh yeah, forgot it had dash lights.
Sorry, I don't know how to drive automatics.

Nice mod- that looks a million times better than the auto shift gate... much sportier now without the "Camry" look

manual shift boot???

Is that just the boot from the '8 6sp manual? What shift **** are you going to install?

Looks much better than the stock version.
