Default shifter boot

Just installed new MGW short shifter. Don't like the stock boot. Can anyone recommend a nice replacement. Nothing fancy. Black boot will be fine.

I also recommend Redline Goods. I am on my second boot from them in my second C5Z, and this one is all-black. Very good quality, and tons nicer than the OEM vinyl garbage.

Redline Goods is my suggestion as well, top notch quality and great customer service. I bought a new boot when I installed my MGW shifter as well for the exact same reason, stock boot just seems too scrunched up.

I love mine, as do my friends who have played with it. I had a B&M Ripper and a Hurst Billet Plus, and the MGW beats them both without question. Positive shifts without too much effort, and just the right throw distance.
