Default c6 shift boot on a c5

I got myself a nice c6 shift ****...and it looks ridiculous on the car with the c5 shift boot lol

It looks like its floating on top of the shifter, because its thicker than the shift boot is, putting a c6 shift boot on should fix said problem no? Being it was made to fit with that shifter anyway?

I'd call them, but I am pretty sure it will work no problem. The whole deal is the bigger hole needed for the ****. The shifters are pretty much the same (for this purpose anyway)..

Not sure how you accomplished a C6Z shifter **** on a C5 shifter. The C5 shifter is threaded and uses the "demon key" to secure. The C6Z **** slides on and uses a threaded bolt to hold in place.
