Question..
Is getting the boot necessary? Or would the **** work with the original boot?
Thanks!

I love this mod, I had a quick question. Can I use the original leather shift boot with a new ****? Do you need to order a new leather boot as well? Will the original leather boot match up with the new ****? Thank you!

the collar from the old bo0t does not click in with the new kn0b, so you are more or less buying the new bo0t for the collar inside.

Default RC-F Steering Wheel

Haven't done an update here for a long time now... Got an RC-F limited orange trim heated steering wheel from Japan.
The whole wheel is perforated leather and nice and thick.

Also filmed the JDM fog lights to amber.. goes so well with the LED head lights
Nice build, can you give a quick install steps and tips for this diffuser please.
