Well the boot i was sent turned out to be for the stock mushroom style shifter which didnt fit my porsche silver ball knob... the neck of the boot was too narrow and was nearly impossible to stretch around the allen bolt on the shifter that locks it in place.

When i pulled the new boot over the frame i can tell it was being stretched pretty far and some of the white stitching would open up from the tension.

Heres a picture of it installed....

Im willing to send you my shift knob, original boot, your boot, and the mounting frame so you can create a better fitting template for my style of shift knob.

The boot (once adjusted) will look better than I thought it would, its probably the darker color.
