The TRD short shifter is the same height as the stock one, I think. If so, then yes.

What shade of grey do you want?

Also, TRD logo in red or black?

I finally was able to upload a couple of pics. I set the boot up 2 different ways depending on what your taste is. Enjoy!

I have to admit I was doubtful like others at first, but after seeing it in the car all I can say is how have I been living with that crappy looking stock boot.

jetbtkng is getting one with red thread. If you go to the link in my signature and click on stitch options and colors I have the different colored threads I can get.

Alright, I did some embroidery work and here is one result (keep in mind the logo in this example is about 2 times the size of what would fit on a shift boot).

As it turns out, it doesn't look like it's possible to embroider on leather without ruining it (as the stitches have to be extremely close together, causing the leather to rip at the edges of the embroidery)

But fear not! I have found a solution!

This is the beta version of my new idea (finished item should be done by tomorrow)

I'm glad! It has been taking me a lot of time to make myself a genuine "TRD" Branding Iron. I have to clean up the edges a bit tomorrow and then it will be perfect!

That's pimp, James. Would you be able to stamp headreasts and such with the iron?

I don't want to say yes right away - I'll try it on mine (I can always make a new one for myself) and let you know.

Also, if anyone wants a TRD tattoo... :rock:
