Default EP3 boot style swap

I was thinking about swaping my s2k boot for the EP3 boot style. It looks better than the saggy leather IMO. I was wondering if anybody has done it or if there is another application of this boot style that fits the s2k better. I know it isn't going to fit perfectly but if the boot covers enough space, I can attach it under the center console... and I know the boot tilts upward too so I'd have to figure something out. if nobody has any idea about this then I'll be posting up this mod once I'm done with it. thanks.

The 2007-2008 Fit MT Boot would be more appropriate. THe EP3 Boot is longer and has a slight arc to it since it was mounted at an angle vs. the Fi's Being Mounted flat. post pics when you're done - I'm curious to see what it looks like.

yeah I think the EP3 is probably no the best fit for the s2k I'm going to do my research to get the right boot with the right dimensions, but the "spring" or "pyramid" look is what I'm trying to achieve.. I don't know what those boots are called but I hope you get the idea.

To fix that you just Zip tie the leather boot where you want it. You have to raise your console and zip tie it from below.
