How to upgrade your 2010+ Mustang with new shift boots?
Hi everyone,
we were asked by the Admin to put together a write-up documenting the process of upgrading the boots and armrest on the Mustang.
First of all - why do it? Here's why, a sample pic from another car:
And, more specifically, on our cars:
So, now that the "why bother" is out of the way, let's get to the "how-to".
1. Remove the shift **** by unscrewing it counter-clockwise.
Remove the console trim piece by opening the rear cover and then pulling up on the entire piece. It is held in with push-clips only. Once unclipped, unplug the traction control/hazard/trunk release button and then lift the console trim piece off.
Flip the console trim piece over and see how the factory boot is clipped to the chrome shift trim ring. Remove the shift boot by unclipping all of the clips, working in a single direction (such as front to back).
2. Remove the plastic square ring from the shift boot by using a prying tool, such as a putty knife or flathead screwdriver.
3. If you are going to reuse the factory shift ****, also remove the round ring at the top of the shift boot.
4. Remove the stock hand brake boot by pulling up around the base of the boot and pulling it off of the stock handle. Begin the installation of the new boot by gluing the boot centered on the "back" of the trim ring (see picture).
5. Glue the boot to the front of the trim ring, as to leave the sides unglued. Glue one side entirely to the trim ring, then the other side. Trim excess as needed.
Reinstall by pulling boot over handle, then pressing ring into slots in console.
And now what we know why bother, how to do this, you probably want to know how much?

What you'll find there are:
- pricing information (please do not ask about pricing in this thread)
- color and special finishing options (LOTS OF PICTURES)
Take care

Everyone,
The beauty of simplicity, the all-new Mazda6 (2006-2010) shift boot in black leather and silver thread. Notice how well the thread matches the silver/aluminum pieces: the bezel and the shift ****.

I sent you guys an email a couple months ago and never got a response (which always disturbs me). I would like one similar to the Mazda one shown below (except w/o the perf) to match the white stripe on the seats. How much $$ for that?
