Nice looking boot...goes well with my red Abarth seats/dash. But this is apparently not a BLACK Company boot made especially for the Fiat 500 (at least when using the stock Abarth shift knob). It seems a bit tall for use with the stock Abarth knob and the top opening is a bit wide, making it hard to neatly tie-wrap it to the knob as the stock boot does. Also, you have to cut your own slots in the bottom to fit the retaining ring into.

I might mention here the difficulty I had snapping back into place the shift pattern emblem into the knob (which has nothing to do with the boot, of course)! Just would not go in! Ended up filing the top tab (the wide one...the emblem will only go in one way) slightly narrower and then it snapped nicely into place.
