Flameball
I just finished installing my new flameball shift ****. Is there any way or anything to get the shift boot up or to cover the gap. Right now I am still showing a few threads and the wire.

Love the Flameball. Have a similar one in different color. IMO the best solution is just to go ahead and rip out the stock shifter and replace with a [ insert your favorite brand here ] aftermarket shifter. I like my Hurst a lot.
Nice work... just one more step!

I wish, the wire is for the light. The **** has a tiny hole on the underside, which allows for a LED to be inserted. The wires are tapped into the traction control panel, so when I turn on the parking lights or headlights, it lights up. PIC is on the way. It is 5:35 p.m. here and my garage door faces west.

) They remind me of old Camaros too, only that's one of the things I like about them; a touch of retro.
Funny, the only Honda I ever owned had a shifter that looked remarkably like the stock C5.
