YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW HAPPY I AM THAT I FOUND OUT YOUR VIDEO GOD BLESS YOU MAN I've been looking for days already for something like this : if I can put a gator on my honda civic hatchback ( meaning a car that doesn't naturally come with one). Thank you so much. I sometimes eat in the car( which I hate but can't help) because of long journeys and I was getting quite concerned about the fact that I had no boot to protect the gears. Thanks again

Thanks for the great video's of the mk8 civic

Just installed mine looks mint. Thanks for the vid 👍🏽

Thank you for this video I always hated the way it looked before so i got one from China and now it looks so much better so thanks again for this idea

Thanks dude I will be doing this!

So I don't have have to take off the trum if all i want to do is remove the knob? Thanks.

FWIW, fitting a Type R gear-stick surround/gaiter to other Civics is a pretty big job because the plastic collar for the "ball" gets in the way. You need to remove the centre-console to get access to the shifter mechanism and then unbolt the plastic collar before the surround will fit. Honestly, the Type R gaiter looks/fits MUCH better than a DIY job but it's up to the owner whether it's worth the effort.

I got a suède one of these. I used an old creditcard to push it under the trim. Removing the gear knob was enough.

Do you have to glue it? I tucked it in without glue let’s see if it stays out the plastic bit should hold that leather down

Thank you

Just the knob not the whole stick I might add

Any idea where to get one of these lock nuts? Size spec?

Which bit ?

ghetto fabulous

it was nice the way it was...now it just looks bad. it looks like any other vw, seat, Skoda,etc. congrats u made it worst.

Gator slides up and down the shaft, cable tying is not effective enough. Gator itself that I bought is poor quality, tore it off after one journey. Just leave it stock.

WOW! Mountain out of a MOLE HILL.😂

You literally say literally too much. 😁
