Interesting 4 speed boot....I have the original boot bucket and the wrong flat shifter arm as you have, and the original owner had to notch out the front of the boot bucket to move the shifter forward...I'm looking for the original round shifter arm and then I'll replace the notched boot well.

I had my car at the show, the bugger looked it over and in a snotty manner, said "wrong shifter arm".....I said perhaps you are right, and when you have the "right" attitude, I'll chat with you..LOL

At any rate I too am happy with my applique...we will see how the sun treats it over time....
