Just blue to match the footwells.

Mine is an auto and looks like this with boot conversion.
It might work if goes around that groove

Not sure if it would be seen with boot sitting like this on automatic.

I don't see how the light would be fluid without gaps

Op any thoughts

No offense but this seems to me like the equivalent of putting a "turbo whistle" in your muffler to sound like you have a turbo charger.

I kind of have the same set up and will give it a go this weekend as I picked up the light piping today.

I bet my "turbo whistle" at 726 hp will spank most other cars on the road though lol :-)

Im interested in seeing how you installed it.

From what it looks like the light tube would fit down in the groove shown here. Then it basically shines from underneath once put on console. The edge around the boot allows light to be seen.

Op can confirm this

Again don't see how that much light would come up from there though.

Wait that is a manual shift boot that is retrofitted for an automatic? But why..... The 726hp is nice though.

Because it looks nicer than the turtle-shell auto bezel.

There are other cars that come with leather boots on auto shifters.

I had the boot until I added the Drake concept shifter. That just looked bad.

Yeah prefer standard but had to go automatic due to wife and not wanting to operate standard in city traffic. If did again would have to think about it long and hard. However with supercharger not sure matters at this point

I did do CFD shifter and standard boot for the looks. Didn't care for the clam shell OEM look any longer
