Plastic ring around shift boot
 

I hate the plastic silver ring around the shift boot. Are there replacements? I really just want it to be black. See the below pic. The pic is from an Ebay auction of a boot I'm thinking of ordering.

as a mediocre band once said

paint it black

:)

I don't know the first thing about painting something like this. I'd hate to ruin the thing and have it look worse. What type of paint would I use? I saw a thread where someone used vinyl for the accents to the left and right, I wonder if i could do the same thing for this, or if it would end up not fitting. Being a round piece, i'd think that wouldn't turn out well.

Use this...

then some spray paint ....

If your going to buy a new one, then what do you have to loose? Try painting it, and if you jack it up buy the eBay one.

paint it!!!

i also painted the side accents friend owns a body shop so he sprayed them piano black with a clear coat

I covered mine in 3m di-noc carbon fiber vinyl. Ring is actually really easy to take out and work with. Use a good gloss black and it'll make a world of difference as well if you want to go that route as posted above.

That looks really good Chino. Thanks for the tips.

whered you get that colored boot? chino? and also is the ring like a twist off? never really thought about it

nvrmind...sorry a little searching helped me out lol
