Auto to manual Boot swap. much cleaner

i've always hated the flak i get from people when they see that the car is an automatic. I really enjoy the auto!
anyway ive been wanting to swap out the shift boot for a manual one, just so it doesnt have that plaque there with the P, R, N, D. anyway i finally got around to switching it. I got a super deal on a blue, and chrome boot and trim for both the shifter and the e-brake on ebay.
i realy like how it looks. much cleaner than having that silver platform there with the gears on it.
what do you think?
simple but nice

Shift boot swap

I saw that on e-bay and was considering swaping mine out. Looks nice/clean and less cluttered.
