None that I know of... but then again, it doesn't seem to be very practical to begin with since they are mostly designed for manual transmissions. Furthermore, most manual knobs have the gears graphed out on the knob itself so you can see which gear is which. With a shift boot on an automatic, it feels like you'd have to guess which direction you'd have to go to shift.

mines just the basic "press the brake go to gear" i dont have the paddle shfters or anything. plus it displays in the onboard computer if ur in drive neutral reverse etc. i just saw the boot on the MR and thought it looks nice. plus the shifter just sticks up too far and looks bad with my interior style

Agreed, I drive with the auto CVT transmission and would love to put a shift boot on and change my shift knob. By the look of things it looks quite possible its just a matter of attatching it to something underneath the shift track.

just buy a universal shift boot off ebay or from autozone or a bodyshop or somewhere, pull the center console off and the shift know, slide the boot on and wrap it around the bottom of the cvt shit pattern then put the center console back on. no need to pay lots of money for a kit or special made. its easy

Pull out the entire center console where the shift boot would normally sit on top of. Remove the shift knob and place the shift boot on top. Then slide the bottom of the shift boot under the center console and set it back in place. Put the knob back on and you're good to go.
