Let's Get Started
The first thing we need to do is remove the cup holder. This is done by lifting straight up. It is just held in by a few clips.
Next we need to remove the trim piece around the shifter. You can use a flat head screw driver wrapped in some cloth so it doesn't scratch anything. You may also be able to use your hands to get this up. Just lift it up and out.
Lift up on the emergency brake.
Now we will take out the console trip piece. Start on the back, and lift straight up. The whole thing is held in by several clips. Lift up to unclip the two rear clips
Next, lift straight up in the middle section to unclip the center set of clips.
Finally, lift straight up on the front of the piece to unclip the front set of clips. Start with the drivers side
Then the passengers side.
Remove the console trim piece.

first you need to take out the auto shifter bezel. i had to cut out a small cross bar so i could take this out fairly easy. just be careful pulling it out, because you still have to take out the lightbulb
then your console should look like this. see also where i have the lightbulb tucked out of the way? its the red and black wire. if you dont do this, you will see light under your ebrake handle at night
now you need to attach the boot to the shifter somehow. i did this by putting a few layers of scotch tape around the bottom piece of my shift knob
then i took 2 zip ties and put them like this
then tightend them up at the top of the 3 layers of tape on the bottom knob piece, cut them and put a new 1 layer of tape over them so that they would stay in place.
then you turn the boot inside out
flip the boot upside down and put the knob in right side up
then you do the same thing with the zip ties as before
then you tighten around the boot with the knob in it. make sure that you tighten the zip tie above the zip ties on the knob piece, towards where the top of the knob will be, otherwise, the boot wont hold to the knob
now you can go put it on your car.
the console piece looks like this on the underside. the red circles are where the holes on the bottom of the shift boot line up to and where you put the screws in.
i used 4 small wood screws that i bought from walmart, cuz when you order the boot from honda, it doesnt come with any hardware.
this is what it should look like on the underside of the console with the boot fully attached to it
it will look like this on the topside of the console.
now you put the console on and slide the boot over the shift rod
now i had to attach all the nessesary(sp?) parts for my knob to work and this is what it should look like then
now all i needed to do was screw the top part of the knob on, and here it is finished.
