Type S Shift Boot

Hi Guys
My Mate has a type S and his shift boot is starting to rip and was wondering how would he go about replacing it.

Cheers

Mine ripping apart to, Ive been looking for just a black leather one lately! if he pulls up the center console youll see underneath that its stapled in, all you have to do is remove the old one and replace with the new using the chrome piece as a guide and lock!

My friend got a replacement from ebay, 50 dollars i think, and it was actually better quality than OEM one. Leather and red stitching. You get it ordered from the usa

is it a straight swap just like Ek9 shift boot into a eg or EK???
What if you wanted to get just the oem parts do you need to buy the whole surrounding interior parts or can you just buy the shift boot

Im sure ive seen the shift boot only for sale complete with the connector for the OEM knob for sale from honda for like $75 or something, should call your local dealer and find out their price as it can vary from place to place

okay cool so it would be just like a straight swap like the other shift boots

I think someone should do a shift boot change in a Type S

Well what if i want to buy something from the states (Were you live), but they don't ship overseas. Would you be able to help "a brother out" (Thats how you talk over in the States isn't it), by me sending the stuff to your place, and then you sending it onto me?
