Nice writeup. Does the rubber grommit that is right below the shift know come with the Si boot? Also do the screws come with it, or did you just use off the shelf screws? And how big were they so it did not drill the screws out the top of the silver ring.

yes, the inner ring comes out or you will have a gap.
are you talking about the thing that doesnt allow the shift boot go down too low? Yea it comes with it. I just used screws that I had laying around... They can go through the ring a little because you still dont seem them when installed.

Got my boot yesterday (went with the red stitching) and will be installing this weekend. Stupid me, I busted the 2 clips on the front of the console, and the damm piece under the e-brake broke as well. I'm doing a h-fit short throw shifter, skunk2 knob and xm tuner at the same time, so hopefully everything else goes well. Will post pics once completed
