Shift knob and boots - Toyota Yaris Forums

Installed delrin shift knob and shifter/handbrake boots from microimage yesterday.

PERFECT

Nice setup. Whats the copper/bronze piece on top of the boot?

9vapors · 07-24-2009, 12:55 PM

^^^Was just going to ask the same question... I need one of those. I have a similar setup, but with the ARC polished TI knob...

FYI, the Subaru WRX thread is the same as the Yaris.

Looks like a hose fitting. I did the same thing in my tC to fill the space.

9vapors · 07-24-2009, 01:27 PM

Does that have an extender on it? My shifter is not brushed aluminum looking...

kurokoma-kun · 07-24-2009, 01:35 PM

Thanks for comments!

The cap is a copper plumbing pipe reducer

with a scrap of silicon tubing inside to make it snug. It goes with the rest of the copper color accents I've done, I'll probably paint part of the dash to match as well.

It's a 3" aluminum extension, I love it! Makes shifts so much quicker and easier. I can't believe how far I've been reaching down to shift all this time

^ the alternative is to sit lower

I'm still looking for a 07-08 shift boot ring before I can install my boot...

nice!
what do you all think about
the shifting knobs that light
up on with vibration? do you
think that would look good on
a yaris?

KK,

You need a steering wheel like this...

Just wear your seat belt and a mouthguard at times!

It looks masculine. I mean it in a nice way. It looks strong!

Thanks! It's funny, how much my taste in cars tends toward the "tuff" look. Though I've never been a pink ribbons and ruffles type of girl, my home is certainly not this no-nonsense all-black style, I don't dress that way, etc. It's as if the Yaris told me how "he" wanted to look so that's what we've done.

eh, its just a broken belt clip screwed to the dash... I always clipped my little ipod nano there and really hated looking down at the iphone to switch songs, so none of the larger, fancier holders worked for me.

you think the extension makes you shift faster? how can you tell? it looks cool just kinda long it seems...

About a month ago, I purchased a vinyl shift boot ($10) for a a Toyota Celica on eBay and adapted it to our Yaris shift stick. It took me 20min, a pair of scissors, a sewing needle and black thread, some superglue and lots of patience. I'm very satisfied with the end result. Let me know what you all think.
