Intega Type R knob

[NSXNEV]

Hi All-

Has anyone out there tried the SoS factory NA2 NSX Type R shifter boot with an Acura Integra Type R shifter knob? If so, does the "stick shift shaft" show? I mean, will the boot cover and not sag down, exposing the shifter shaft?

Thaks in advance.

Yes.. I had that exact combo. I did not like the type R knob because you can never get it to tighten down solidly...it continues to move as if it's loose after it's screwed all the way on. Also, the threads on the knob are plastic...screw the knob too much and it cracks. Now I'm using the GruppeM knob, which is real small, but screws on tight and really down low, giving you a shorty shifter without modifying the shaft.

Are you referring to the 1998 knob, which looks like an OEM NSX shifter with red stitching?

Guys-

I am sorry for the confusion. I am refering to the 2000 Integra Type R knob, which is metal and has the 5-speed shift pattern in red on the top of it.

Thanks for the input!

I have the metal 'R'knob and mesh bootie combo-it work's and looks great(can't see the shaft at all). The knob does end up being about an inch lower, which I like.

Good looking.

And nice looking dash installation. Did you use one of aftermarket panels that are available? How did you color it in silver?

Thanks!

I modified the stock piece using sheet ABS from TAP plastics, a little glue, a soldering iron(for melting the ABS), lots of test fitting and sanding. Plastic prep, primed, and shot with flat 'stainless steel' paint.
