Default Crown Royal Shift Boot

So yesterday i received my Crown Royal bag from Ebay it was $5. The mod was super easy pop put the ashtray from under the radio, Then pop of the cup holder tray. Cut the end off the bag about an inch. I started on the end closest to the arm rest. Put two drops from the hot glue gun on each side. Then pulled it toward the park position where it wrap under the shifter display and stayed perfect. Re installed everything and done

How did you go with getting the chrome shifter bezel to fit flush around the outside?

I've got a leather boot at the moment but I can't get mt shifter bezel to wrap flush all the way around because of the boot being in the way.

It doesn't look all that great now. If I was you I would go between P, D and L (the furthest that leather will stretch) and see if you can circumcise that shift boot a bit. Has great potential!

Here's what mine looks like.

Cant seem to get this corner down. It's so close when I push it but cant get it to stay down.

Not feeling that look at all bro. I don't like the thought of putting a boot in that spot anyway. I like the slight hint of light poking through the shifter. It's a classy look that Lexus puts on all of their models even the newer ones. But your whip, your prerogative.
