Default Shift Knob/Shift boot from Rick's



This is my first try at posting a pic here - hope it works.

Since I have seen a few threads about Rick's service, etc lately, I need to say that I am a happy camper. I'm also now 55 and don't require instant gratification. The textured black voodoo knob took less than a week to arrive and the blue leather boot took about 2 weeks - it came directly from Townsend Leather. Quality of both was top-notch. The black stitching was flawless.

The instructions for the boot were excellent. I used a 1/2" drill bit to remove the 2 plastic tabs. It was one of the methods suggested by Rick and it worked good - I didn't even have to put the bit in a drill, just turned it by hand and the tabs were gone in a few turns. My only problem was that I decided to put some leather conditioner on the leather. So then I started rubbing it a lot to give it a more worn look. The leather sure felt good. Then I rolled it in a ball and played some more. Next thing I know, an hour had gone by. The old OCD had surfaced once again.

Some had said that the blue leather didn't match as good as some of the other colors, but I am very pleased.

The knob and boot look great. Where did you get that shift pattern label?

Shift pattern label came from an Acura dealer. It was used on several years of NSX - around '97. I always liked NSX's and the shift pattern emblem gives me a part of one.
