    here are the pics. Sorry if it appears to be grainy but my photoshop stuffed up on me. argh. i'll take some decent shots of it if u guys want later on.


    its pretty simple to fit the knob, and it comes with instructions. But I was not happy at how it looked when I followed the instructions because the ring and the collar kept moving up and down. I had to do some custom work of my own to get the look I wanted.


    Heres the site for the instructions.

    Firstly, I did not unclip the console. there was no need to. I just squeezed the original plastic ring out of the shift boot.

    Next, there are 3 little bumps on the aftermarket ring (pple who got the knob will know what Im talking about). Those 3 bumps are there to help latch on the collar. I sanded down one of the bumps so it was smooth and i pushed the flange nut in between the ring so it fit.

    Then, with the flange nut tight in between the ring, i screwed the ring on with the flange nut together but installed it so that the flange nuts flat face was facing DOWN the gearstick.

    Finally, I screwed the shift knob on and got a tight fit. The boot use to have a zip tie on it before so it was a bit crinkled at the top, which was perfect for covering the ring.

    From the parts received, I did not use the collar and the zip tie.


    Now, the ring and the boot does not move up and down the shaft of the gearstick. it stays in place and is a tight fit, which is what I wanted.


    Here are the results. enjoy
