It sucked for me since I had already installed my monster **** prior, since I had to break that ring to do so. I had to glue all 5 pieces back together, glue it to the boot, and then break it again when I screwed on the ****.lol It doesn't affect anything though.

Yes it is my fault, I should have realized a replacement part would need work, I'll remember to make sure the filament on the lamps I ordered are connected before I install them. As i said,it's a nice piece of kit,in my tiny mind,replacement means replacement.I guess I should have asked 9k where he scored his.

Console Leather
I bought my console leather covers from Topgaiters and installed them in about 1 hr. The glue isn't hard to do and it turned out perfect.

Anyone use one of these with a short shift kit? My original boot is shot, and I'm going to put in a short shift kit, so I thought it would be the ideal time to swap the boot as well.
Anyone have a boot custom sized for short shifter?

I ordered the cheap one 9krpmrx8 got but with blue stitch... it looked like complete ***... only 3 of the 4 seems had blue stitching, the top ring was crooked and there was a manufactures stamp on the outer (visible) part of the boot. I contacted the seller and they are sending a new one no charge without sending the old one back. well see how the second one looks. I will post pics after I install it (if its worthy of even installing unlike the first one). Im also putting on 3d carbon vinyl on the silver trim as mine is scratched pretty bad.

I got my second boot from ebay and it was still not worthy of being installed on an RX-8... but I did manage to salvage the aluminum ring from it for use with a boot I plan on ordering from redlinegoods.com later on. I want a black alcantra with blue stitch to match my WB. I will post pics whenever that happends lol.
