Shift boot on a auto?
What's up CL members,
I've been deciding on putting a shift boot on my auto shifter. I'm not trying to make my 2es look like a manual. I jst wanna give it a more luxury look. More like the newer cars. Jst wanted some opinions.
Another question.
I've been wanting to do led interior lights. Which LEDs do you guys prefer?

As for the LED interior lights, there are many different types of LED's. After much trial and error (I made all the mistakes so you don't have to), I've found that the SMD type works best for interior lighting. For the dome lights, make sure to use LED panels, because that's the only way they'll fit in the light and be bright enough. This is an example of an SMD LED panel (the same one I used for the front dome light):

This is an example of a regular LED panel, what NOT to get for interior lighting, especially for the dome lights (they do work for the interior, but they aren't as bright as the SMD's, and they have more of a bluish light than pure white):

Yeah that was what i was thinking. But only issue is that you might need a new shift **** and doing that you're gonna have to cut to O/D cord and splice it pretty much. But i'm debating about doing it or not.

If I were gonna try it I would cut it to fit over the stock shifter handle and put velcro on it to close it up once it was on. Have seen many stock shift boots like that.

No more of a waste than yellow headlamps, lowering the car, adding led lights, or 18"+ wheels... our cars weren't designed like those either. I would submit that a well done shift boot for the auto stick would look much better and far classier than any of those other things...
