How to install shift boot on 04 auto coupe?

I tried searching but only got info on how to change the **** itself and the 2nd gen G's. Anyone have a diy link for 04?

Ohh sorry.

I did some looking and it looks like is the same procedure as the 6MT and it looks pretty straightforward. Did you tried taking the center console apart and checking if you can install it.

Putting LEDs all over your car is rice or a huge spoiler. Lol. A simple shift boot is no where near rice.

I dont agree with that being rice. It gives the car a more elegant look IMO. Its more of german thing. And as we all know, Infiniti Competitor is BMW. BMW has using shift boots with their automatics for years. Hell The $160k SL65 has an automatic with a shift boot from the factory.


I dont understand why everyone is throwing the "rice" card so much lately. My opinion of rice was when someone modifying their car cosmetically and thinking its suppose to make it "faster". However some shift boots should be considered Suspect. Like people using Crown Royal bags as their shift boots. WTF??


Heres the sl65 sexy interior with the shift boot.

When u guys figure out why installing painted brake covers is rice then ull figure it out. The difference between the factory shift boots and the rice shift boots is that for the most part it still looks like an automatic (still looks dumb to me). Jus make a sporty auto **** like some of the other cars. No need fake it with a tiny boot.. The rice shift boot is trying to make it look like a manual whether or not that's the true reason or not. Of course u guys that like it will say it's not but deep down u kno Wat I mean lol
