ZHP Shift Knob

I'm thinking about installing the weighted ZHP shift knob and wanted to know if anyone else has done the swap. I have the stock perforated one now but I like the look and feel of the ZHP. Will this directly replace the stock knob using the leather boot? I'm not a fan of the Alcantara stuff so I'd like to use the original boot.

The performance knob requires the use of the alcantara boot. Unless you can somehow seperate the leather one from the factory knob.

You will either need a new shift boot or you will need to separate your stock knob from your stock shift boot (I have DIY on this in the DIY Forum)
