The link shows the **** installed on a stock boot, the pic is with a MOMO boot that I helped install on a firends WRX. The MOMO boot replaces the lower ring and has its own ring in the top of the boot that screws on to the ****. The boot install is on the scoobymods site too.

thanks for all the info guys..
just one more question,
i checked out the link on how to install it and found it kinda complicated.... I thought all you have to do is unscrew the
OEM **** and install the momo one........
Do i really have to take out that whole panel like they did in the link???????????????????

only if you want to put something under the boot to make sure it stay's up. Someone makes an insert I think that holds the **** and the boot too. Taking the console off only takes a few min. 3 tops. I've had mine off so many times I can do it w/ my eyes closed now

Momo **** Pics
I installed the Race Air Aluminum **** and love it...lowered the total shifter height by 1-1.5 inches making the throw a little shorter and it feels great! (I'm not longer considering the short-throw shifter). I have a couple of pics posted of it in the member gallery at this link:

At first I installed just the **** and pulled the stock boot up over the bottom - to make it fit you have to leave off the bottom screw on ring that comes with the shift **** and it takes a bit of effort but the stock boot will slip up just to the bottom of the **** and the exposed threads hold it there snugly.
I got a Momo boot as a gift though and couldn't help myself. It definitely makes a nice improvement to the interior...now I'm lusting after the STi aluminum shifter surround to finish off the look!
If you want more pics of it I'd be happy to email them...

Momo Boot
You can order a boot at quite a few places - just go to a search engine and look for them but there is quite a bit of variability in price - anywhere from $45 to $80 for the same boot so compare. Momo makes 3 types of boots - 2 will screw on directly to the bottom of the shift **** (one with an external aluminum ring that will be visible), one with a plastic adaptor that screws directly onto the bottom of the shift **** so the leather comes flush to the bottom of the ****, and one that has no connector at all - just a leather tube and you figure out your own way to install it.

do you happen to know what "model name" these boots are, i have to special order a boot from a local shop and cant really tell from the momo catalogue, the place knows nothin but they give me good prices so any help would be appreciated haha
