I drove a 2009 LT with an automatic last week. It seems the 2009's with the auto has a sort of "shift boot", around the shifter, similar to the manual stick. Anyone have a pic to post or a part illustration? Wonder if the 2008's could be updated and for how much?

GTO 1

 

i noticed that too small change but it looks a lot nicer

 

1 of the new members recently posted his with 1. Don't remember who though.

 

Sounds kinda cool... interested to see pics from someone!

 

at first i was like wtf? a shift boot on an auto?

 

I just test drove a couple also and I thought it looked cheesy and really cheap. In fact the interior for some reason looked cheaper than my 2006 LT Sedan. Maybe it was the ebony color?
On another note I test drove one with the 15 inch tires and one with the 16's and the one with the 15s seemed to ride better for some reason.
GM is giving me $4000 off a new one but I was just not impressed and not sure now that I want to do it.
That boot around the shifter really made the interior seem cheap. The shift action was also just as notchy and poor feeling as my '06-I would of thought GM would improve it but nope!
Now I'm thinking about a Fusion instead. I need a car about the same size as my Cobalt and the Focus is just too damn ugly.

 

pontiac's have had shift boot's on there autotragic's for year's... but that would prolly look nice tho.. i think the balt auto center console looks plain IMO..

 

Yeah it dose I hate it.


Iv always wanted to know what it looked like. Wanted to do it but i think it mite look bad ><

Pics?

 

Pics?

 

theres already a thread on this topic, in the 2009+ fourm

 

Looks even cheesier in person. I wonder if it can be cleanly removed?

 

gross.

 

I dont think it looks that bad, much better than mine was

 

Well im glad I didn't do that to mine

 

shift boot on an auto= fail

 

Yeah, I really don't like that either. Now if they would do that on the parking brake...

 

that would look good........but im a plain and simple kinda guy........thta would look like **** in a year or two

 

Thats what I wanted to do too. But after that pic IDk. The parking brake does look like a POS stock and if you take the cover off. Im just waiting to find something that looks good over it

 

i have it on my 2009 but the only problem is is that i want to remove the shify knob. I know how to remove the boot

 

the shift boots that redline is selling are wayyy nicer imo
