Default Lexus es300 1997 switching shifter and putting in boot

I recently took out the stock snifter and put in a different one and after that covered the bottom with a boot let me know what you guys think and if you need some instructions on how to do this I would be more than happy to give step by step instructions.
P.S. I will probably pull the boot down more because I think it looks too bulky

I personally am not a big fan of that shifter either but of the 4 that I saw available this had the best look

props to you on actually doing something different.

I'd love to convert mine somehow into a gated shifter, but.... that's too much work and investment into an already old car.

I honestly have no idea but I got it from here
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/7-inc...747392323.html

This is actually the exact one I ordered from that person, I picked it out because this is by far the cheapest 2DIN with GPS that I saw around.

That is actually one of the only complaints I have about it, I would love to have that too, but as you have said that would take too much investment.
