Thanks. Yup works with the oem collar. I just popped the shift boot down. Put a wrench on the oem collar unthreaded the oem shift knob and threaded the hks one on tightened collar back up once I got the knob centered and pulled the boot back up.

So pop the shift boot first then it'll twist off? I've been wanting to swap mine, but that sucker is on there good, lol.

It's kinda tricky to find the sweet spot on the tabs that hold the boot collar to the jam nut. Using your thumb and pointer finger pinch around on the boot collar about 3/4-1" below the shift knob and feel for 2 tabs. Everywhere around the boot collar will be solid except for where those tabs are. The boot collar will compress slightly inwards where the tabs are located. Mines was inline with the boot stitching yours may be as well. Pinch firmly at the tabs and push/pull down on the collar. It'll feel like it's gonna break but those tabs are just a little bastard when it comes to releasing on their first time. Once it pops down you'll see a slotted area on the jam nut where you can put I think it was a 14mm wrench but I just used a mini crescent. Put your wrench on there to hold it in place and unscrew the oem knob. If it doesn't come out then tighten down on the jam nut (righty tighty lefty loosey) while holding the shift knob and it should break free. Once you swap out the knob retighten the shifter jam nut and pull up on the boot an you'll hear a click from the tabs and you're done! It's not too bad. I noticed once I broke the tabs free after the first time it got easier every time I wanted to swap out shift knobs lol. The jam nut is also called a shifter flange nut as well.

Thanks a lot. I figured when feeling around that there were clips under the boot. My Evo's boot just had a rubber grommet holding it up, essentially, and the knob just twisted off. A difference in build quality, for sure.

i finally got around to installing the depo clear reflectors, and removed the "civic" emblem from the rear.....to me the chrome civic emblem doesn't go with the black chrome type-R emblems. just imo

Exhaust tips looking very mean. Great job.

These will not fit the CTR, only all non-CTR Civic variants. Black lugs/locks for the CTR are only available over seas as it is currently not available in the USDM.
