Thanks for sticking with me during my perils with this damn shift boot ring. I’ve already marred a small part of the red collar unfortunately but looks like the Raceseng collar will replace this anyways and I probably won’t be going back to the OEM.

THOR LEND ME STRENGTH!!!

Finally after 2.5 hours inside the car taking every idea I can think of I just muscled the damn thing of. I wrapped the entire area with painters tape and mustered all my mortal strength. It finally gave way.

This is what it looks like after I was able to free it from its bonds.

Now comes the Raceseng knob. After all this I’m going to go and treat myself to a late lunch burrito at the taqueria down the street!!!

Glad you finally got it separated.
I was going to suggest maybe removing the shifter frame surrounding the boot (rails off first) as maybe something inside got distorted and wouldn’t release. This would have least let you get a better look.

Well that was quite fun! Painful but fun! I’m about to take this out for a test drive I didn’t think the shifter would sit much shorter than the OEM.

The shifter is more notchier on shifts and easy to put into gear since it has a lower center of gravity. I like the leather feeling over the shifter- no more frozen popsicle stick to deal with. The shifter has a nice heavy weight to it. Truly impressed with the turnout. ?

Hear the TikTok song in your head: No, no no, no no no no no. Scary part is that you can do this even though I didn’t order, just previewed:

Bored on a Sunday. Put on some 1/4 inch carbon design white pinstriping. Heat gun, spray bottle for water, and kneeling pad.

I really like what you’ve done. You should put a garage up with more details and pictures.

Whats the wheel size? 19x8.5?

Blendmount doesn’t rattle Escort Redline 360c & M1 Dashcam. Foam tape cheaper by $198.50 if it works.

I have a blendmount but ever since I got the legamax there was a rattle at certain rpms. I have a long drive tomorrow with a bunch of errands so I’ll have a good chance to see if it worked.

Did you remove the red pinstripe 1st or put that on top of the old one?
Asking because as soon as I find some bronze I'm changing out the red stripes

i decided to remove the red because it was giving the carbon white a pinkish glow at some angles. should be able to go over the red with darker colors.
I was thinking white over red would make pink at some point, smart move to prevent it looking like a finger painting experiment. Other combo makers take note?
Red and bronze combined make...BRUISED bronze eventually.
Remember tabula rasa from psych classes anyone? Clean slate advised.

Having said that, 1/4” red with more red (3/8” overlay?) makes for more RED!
