Default anyone ever put a shifter boot over an auto stick??

Was thinking of doing this but not sure how I would attach the boot to the bottom in the console.
Pictures would be cool...

thanks

....that would look pretty stupid in my opinion...its like letting your automatic roll backwards at a stop light making other people think you have a manual....

well thanks for your input?????????????????....NOT!!!......[sm=shootshoot.gif]
So when they do it it a Infiniti g35, bmw, benz....etc its ok????It looks coool??

FYI my inferior motored friend.

I wouldn't be doing it to make people think I drive a manual ..."I'm not 17"
It would be to make my interior look different and in my opinion it would look nicer than the stock open shifter gate.

But thanks, with input like that you should make a ton of friends out here......[:'(]

It does looks stupid, no matter which car it is. Anyone who knows about cars would immediately recognize that the shift console isn't wide enough to be the 4- or 5-speed. Sorry, but it's cheesy.
