they dont show a red tiching. that would make it more money. maybe just under 100.00. but for an all black momo one is 55.00 60.00

i dont know if the shifter boots are the same or not for 5 too 6 speed. good question.

the only way i can see it being closer too 100.00 also is if it fits the evo like oem....

otherwize to modify a universal one is easy..... lets wait and see what the price would be though

All the ones I see say Alcantara Suede Black Leather. I don't really trust that these are 100% OEM Alcantara.

I can get momo shift boots at a local speed shop for about 50 as well. Nicest boots and knobs on the market IMO

You just need to specify wether you want the tall or short boot. Short boot is what you want for the EVO

Every car I ever had had a MOMO knob and boot. There E-Brake handle and boot too

They are all universal fit but if you cant modify a damn shift boot to fit you shouldnt be working on your car

MOMO boots and knobs are made in Italy with the nicest leather ive seen in any boot or knob out there

No doubt. Mitsu makes it easy. You dont even need to zip tie the boot in like we all used to have to do on our Hondas.

the cf one i got from that guy said it's a complete oem fit, so i'd need to mount it myself since the stock one is glued on or something? what should i use then, just some super glue?

How do you like your CF arm rest cover? My stock one is getting alittle worn. Do they wear out as easily?
