Grabbed up a CR bag from a guy at throwing it away at the car wash

Tell me how you did that?? I got 4 CR bags one regular two Black Label and 1 cask 16.

You pull out the cup holders area which lets you pull out the shift boot retainer. As for getting the Crown Royal bag over the the retainer, be prepared to struggle a bit. Have a razor so you can cut slits in the bag to get the retaining prongs. If you need pics let me know. I will be cleaning the car tomorrow which is prime picture time.

I got it on and used the Black Label bag. Cask 16 comes in a small but very nice bag.

Cool! Good to hear. There is the other guy on here that went from bottom to top and wrapped the string around so the crown royal insignia is right side up. But I didnt think of that til after I had put it on and cut the wholes and stretched it over. Maybe I will have to buy another bottle, just for the bag of course

Mine is upside down but it looks good. I have another bag and it's pretty stretched out from all my change. If you figure out how to put it right side up let me know how you did it?

I intalled a strut bar (bought second hand for from my previous 3) and it sharpens the steering a bit. Cheap and easy!
