1. A shift boot for a 95 auto.

2. Red bulb covers. I'm making the third brake light into a euro.

3. Any hub you can think of that might look good.

bulb covers? No... such thing? It'll melt and be a fire hazard.. just buy red bulbs, dont be cheap. Shift boot? You mean a stock one? junkyard. Donno what your thinking about #3.

there are places where you can buy custom-colored shift boots... sorry I forget what sites they are.

How about dying the material a different color? Should be easy.

My car didn't have a shift boot so could you make one from a late year work? I mean hubs as in hubcaps.

No hub caps look good, however a few available at walmart arent all that ugly. seriously, I prefer steelies showing (clean of course) as opposed to cheapo pastic hub caps.

Matrix makes 'universal' shift boots that look pretty damn good, although I have not ever seen one in person or heard about fitment on a GA. I used bulb covers once (actually I still have those bulbs, LOL) they were red gel/rubber that slipped over a 3175 or whatever size my turn signals are, I eventually got red bulbs since those were pissing me off, they didnt output an even red tone, it was so halfassed... But autozone carries those, like 1-2$ for 2 of them.

Red bulbs can be had on ebay for 10$-20$ a pair, depending on who you buy them from and what kind you get, Ive got a few pairs of those on my car, and a few more laying around just because they were so cheap, and They have lasted about 6-8 months on my car so far, which is damn goo dfor cheap-ass ebay one-offs.

Search ebay for Red turn LED or red LED or red turn signal LED bulbs or LED bulbs or something similar, there are MILLIONS of them out there, trust me.

If you have 14's Sunbird rims are 14 lbs

APC 3157 work better; I'll get you a pic of red gel caps and what they look like now

for the shift boot...


you should find someone in your area who has one, borrow it, trace the pattern, buy some material from Jo Ann Fabrics and then sew it together.

You know there is only 1/2" width to boot since the gearing display is on there....

they actually do have bulb covers that slip over a bulb to change the color.a girl I was seeing had them on her parking lights and they did work to change the color, bu light output was decreased alot. I was always after her to get actual coloroed glass bulbs if she wanted to keep them colored...untill I took her car and removed the covers totally :D

Them spinners make me want to throw up. Not cause there ugly(But they are) but cause they make me dizzy. What about them web hubs the 92's came with? I always thought they looked ok. as for the shift boot yes I know it'll be only half the width but will still look then without it.

hubcaps.. $20-25 dollars...... rims anything from $300-3000 dollars depending on alot of things...

not everyone can readily afford rims. why do you think I still don't have rims? Ive been saving for them for a year now, but other nice parts keep coming up, lol

I'd rather have black rims than cheap plastic hubcaps. I know people cant afford rims, especially with the mods Bill has been doing. Thats why you save money for them and not blow your money on useless plastic.


hey mike, why dont you have spinner caps on your GA? :lol:
