Show me your shifters!
 
I'm trying to get ideas for the shifter boot I'll be installing soon, as well as how im going to modify the center console to make it flow nicely. There are a few pictures scattered around but they're hard to find. Would the manual swapped folks be so kind as to throw up some pictures of what they've got?

Right now I'm thinking of picking up an Alcantara boot from JPM Coachworks, but it's only available in black and with the Cherry Blossum Red stitching found in STIs, which doesn't really match anything inside my car.

And let's not limit this to the 6MT guys, I know there are a lot of nice 5MT installs here as well.

Thanks!

Check out my photo album, there is a good amount of pics of mine from different angles. People seem to like it well enough. The only thing is there's no spot for the door lock switch.

Yours definitely looks good, but I think the aluminum shifter trim is more of a match to your CF overlay than to the stock woodgrain. Another issue I have is that the trim ring is flat, while the stock shifter panel has a curve in it, so I would need to massage it a bit.

Anyone else?

Yes, the overlay does help. Helps with the curve as well.

No picture to contribute, but I've seen this company, http://www.redlinegoods.com/general.php mentioned on a few Subaru Boards. They have Ecsaine and offer whatever color stitching you need.

Ya, I've been looking at those too. JPM Coachworks has top notch reviews, but Redline offers more options. Tough decisions...

Don't know what I have for a boot so not much help.
