Hey everyone. I bought a CTR shift boot off of a guy in the UK a while back. The funny thing is that the only diference between our shift boot and their shift boot is a tiny tiny plastic chromed cap that sit's on the top of the boot. Anyways, I made 2 copies of the clip. They're made out of clear acrylic, so you'd have to paint them silver. But hey, they work, and the price is excellent.........free! The only thing I ask is that

#1. You must post pics of the boot clip installed on your ride. That way other people can see the pics and e-mail me if they want me to make them one. and

#2. You have to send me something back, I dont care what it is, It can be a $2 spoon sticker, a naked picture of your sister, or a crisp $1 dollar bill. I dont care, this is more of a fun thing for me, so whoever will promis to take pics, and send me something cool will get one. Just send me a PM, first come first serve.

So if you all want to wait till the people post some pics, or if you just want me to make you one feel free to PM me and bribe me with whatever crap you have lying around the house and want to trade me for a clip. Thanks:D

Well, I use a selfe curing acrylic to make the clips. First I take the clip itselfe and with a selfe setting putty material, I make part 1 of the mold, I then make a second part of the mold, remove the clip, then mix up and pour the acrylic into the mould. I then place the mould into a pressure pot and leave it under pressure for about 10min. After that i cut away the mold, trim the excess acrylic, and polish it. It takes at least 15 min of labour for each clip, not to mention that the acrylic I use comes in 1 pound bags at $60/lb, and the putty I use to make the moulds is around $60/1L tub. So I cant see myselfe making many more of these for pretty much free. Not to mention the mailing costs.

I also made my friends a few custom items. I made a pink shift knob, shaped like a heart for a girl that I know, and a clear type R style one as well. But seeing as acrylic doesent stand up to heat too well, I'm kind of limited to "interior" mods.

Got the clip yesterday.
Looks good and feels very sturdy (well made).
I'm going to paint it silver to match the dash.
Will have some pics of it installed once i find an aftermarket knob i like.

Oh yea, I sent you 2 red "H" decals yesterday.

william...
you should think about selling these...
paint em silver, black, etc... and you got a nice product...
would save people $60 or so for a JDM boot...
if it takes you 15 mins to make each one, that's not bad...
i'm sure people would be willing to pay a fair price...

*** I may be jumping the gun as i havent used it yet, but this is of course, if it fits/works correctly.

Blame the mail, you should get yours in a day or two.

And thanks for the pics ADAMnQuickCIVIC. Hope you like how it works for you. I found that even with the CTR boot in place you still had to put just a touch of black tape under the inner clip (out of sight in the boot itselfe) to get the boot to stay exactly where you want it. And i'm anxiously awaiting my CTR steering wheel:D

Here are some install pics.
** PLEASE DO NOT LAUGH AT MY PEP BOYS SHIFT KNOB! **
I will be returning it as soon as the one i bought off ebay gets here...otherwise i'd be running w/o a shift knob cuz i just sold/shipped my stock one.

Here's a comparison pic of stock vs. new clip:

cleaned out my inbox, sorry guys. plainol2k2si, if you want one I'll make another for you, just send me something cool and your address with it and i'll mail one away to you. It will be all safe and secure in a bubble envelope, I spare no exspense:D , But yeah, the sooner I get anything from anyone the sooner I'll send a clip. Just to remind you guys though, the clip NEEDS TO BE PAINTED, so dont get mad at me when you get it in the mail. Later
