Quik-Shifter question

[Brax Sisco]

I've got a Pacesetter Quik-Shifter ordered, and I expect it to arrive
tomorrow, maybe Tuesday.  I've read all the installation instructions,
so I'm gonna try to do it myself.  One question, though, as I haven't
seen any talk about this - ('97 200sx SE-R, btw...) What do you do with
the leather cover?  Do you just use it on the short shifter?  Won't it
be all bunched up?  Or would it be good to cut it off shorter or replace
it?  Lame question, I know, I just want it to look really good and
professional...

Thanks,

  Brax
