Is the shifter boot horseshoe trim optional, or standard equipment?
My car did not have that piece when I purchased it.

I found it on ebay - not a factory option

The aluminum horseshoe trim was a factory option that came with the upgraded aluminum knobs that the original poster shows. The eBay knob that is shown in Heliguy's post is a copy of the factory horseshoe. The horseshoe trim in my pic above is the factory unit that I sourced separately from my knob.

Custom-made mahogany knob with fat alum shaft. I hated the original alum face knob as it gets so hot under the sun that I got my palm burnt a few times... wood knob feels great and stays cool.
