it is MUCH longer than the stock one, to get a good idea of the comparison look at picture one where FD2 boot is out and then look at pic one where FA5 boot is out behind the shifter.

IMO it looks like cheap vinyl sorry. I would think Honda would use higher quality materials.

Why not just take the stock boot to a seamstress and have them sew the red stitching on it?

even though F-1 says it looks cheap, (don't worry im not offended or anything. i asked for your opinion so no need for sorrys with me im not sensitive lol ) it is definitely better than my stock one. maybe cause its old or i dont know but the FD2 is much softer and smoother. the material looks and feels better in person

I personally would not take my old boot to a seamstress specially now that i removed it and noticed it has little tears and in person you can tell the FD2 boot is superior,but that is definitely a good idea for other people to try and i would like to see the outcome

Thank you. Why not slip your stock boot over the FD2 boot and cut it to fit your car. I think with a better fit it would look better.

Make it like the pic I posted as my avatar

How did you get your shifter to sit so low?
