![http://i.imgur.com/fs4gj.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/fs4gj.jpg) Theres the console. Almost looks like the panel(#10) that holds the boot just clips into the console. Probably want to check around first though. ---

holy hell red lol i tried doing this \> ( Sounds like the boot clips to the collar, have to twist the boot 90\* and down to access the nut.) as suggested and it didnt work and i think i ripped the leather boot somehow or it was already ripped not sure which, tried twisting the shit out of the knob and that didnt happen either, i think my best bet is to come out to colby and do it with you lmao ---

Are you guys sure the clip on top where it connects to the knob doesn’t pull straight down? My RSX was like that, just hold the ring below the knob and pull it straight down the shaft (sounds so dirty) and it might unclip. If you used a different knob on the RSX Honda made a shift boot adapter that clipped in that ring on the boot so it wouldn’t look odd but the shift knob and hold the shift boot up close to the aftermarket knob.

I have 50% on the fronts of the Civic, 5% rear. Not sure what the TL has, previous owner did it, and its garbage, prob 50-60%. I was going to do 35% on the TL whenever I did get it done again. Fronts must match the rear on a sedan, or youre a cholo. Just sayin/ ---

I don’t want anyone to see my new fancy shift knob lol I’m thinking maybe 35% or 50%, I don’t want to get harassed but I like the idea of some privacy, ideally the amount I would go for is when you look into a car next to you a stop light and all you can really see is the silouet of the person in it but can’t really make out anything elese. I also heard running tint helps longevity of your interior and it’s condition but I don’t really know how much of that is true Red not to worry I won’t live a cholo lifestyle and do different tint front a rear it will be the same all around ---

The tint does help protect the interior, especially with a black interior, mainly from fading from UV rays. Or in the case of the famous 3g TL, prevent the dash from cracking, I always use a sunvisor in my cars too. 35% will look good on a car with a black interior, makes it appear darker that it really is, as opposed to tan. Oh and for reference the percentages are how much light is allowed in. ---
