What did you search under because i can't find it in ebay. Also how much did you pay for it? hondawerx doesn't have it and tornactive has it for 45 bucks. i don't know if i wanna spend that much on a shift boot...

Well I can't find any on ebay today, keep checking though. I got mine for $44 shipped from there.

FYI, hondaautomotiveparts.com has the stock USDM shift boot for about $50, so there's no real price difference between the two.

Yes there is. JDM allows you to use after-market shift knobs, while the USDM doesn't. ^_^

What is the difference between the USDM and JDM shift boot?

[JapanExpress]

The USDM boot connects to the factory knob, so if you put most aftermarket knobs on there it will sag. The CTR boot has a trim ring that allows an aftermarket knob to be put on, without making the boot sag. Try doing a search, I know I've seen tons of pics that compare the two.

I installed mine and a skunk2 knob this past weekend and love how subtle it is.

how do you take the shifter dash off?

Look in this thread:

and in this how-to on k-series.com :

It's pretty simple, but you have to be patient to keep from bending or breaking the garnish (as Honda labels it).

- Pull down the shift boot's chrome piece from the knob.
- Unscrew the knob.
- Poke your thumbs into the rubber part of the boot, and start pulling the whole lower plastic section away from the dash.
- You'll discover several tabs that secure the garnish into the dash. I had to wiggle & tease the one on the far right, by the blank hole filler, to eventually work it loose.
- Once it's off the dash, and the hazard button is unplugged, it's pretty easy to see what to unscrew to replace the shift boot itself.
- Put everything back together, and don't forget to plug the hazard button back in or else your turn signals won't work (learned that, too).
