like the title states I've got this ZHP knob thats basically new. If you hold it 6" from your eye balls I don't know if you could tell that its not new. Love the knob over my factory piece but I picked up a few Function First knobbies so this is just going to sit bagged up in the parts bin.

I'll ship it anywhere. Price is 50 firm plus shipping. I dont want to haggle so I'm selling this for basically half off new (and without tax).

Do you know what the process is for replacing the OEM knob with this (without purchasing a new boot?) How is this process compared in difficulty to the entire boot + knob replacement.

So I installed a new alcantara boot when I installed this, but if I were keeping my existing leather boot I would take a razor blade and cut the leather right below the knob, throw knob in parts bucket (though its worthless at this point) and then turn the boot inside out (trim ring removed from console at this point) and zip tie the neck of the boot to the selector lever right around where the bottom of the knob will sit. Then reinstall trim ring into console, the boot folds over itself and hides the zip tie, and push the new knob on.


This is how you would do it for any knob that wasn't attached to the boot.

I wanted to write this for anyone who might wonder how you'd do it. It seems as though I have a sale pending funds on this. Thanks!

I knew it would go fast (probably at the same time I was typing my original post lol..) However, this DIY is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for the info!
