GTO Leather Shift Boot with Grey Stitch Fits!! So I was trolling ebay and found this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/PONTIAC-GTO-...#ht_500wt_1180
and gave it a try. I contacted the seller and they did it with grey stitching at no extra charge. Leather quality is great and the stitching color matched pretty well. I dont think you can beat it for $24 shipped. Delivery to my door took 5 days.
Here are some pics:

LAYGO: I remember commenting on ur shifter about ur bezel, I guess u didnt see it. The bezel is just the factory one with the paint/rubber coating scrapped off of it. Real easy to remove. Use your fingernail or a plastic scrapper. Underneath is a shiny black plastic. If I remember yours is pretty scratched up. Let me know if u have any more questions.

Yeaaa budddy looks good w/ the shelby ****.. i have the same one with the Gto **** thou. needs more weight.
I painted my trim bezel gloss black.. hated it b/c it stuck out to much haha then painted it flat black looked great before the install of the shiftboot.. haha should have used a clear coat..
i want a TWM shift ***** but 130+ for the one i want is alittle steep.. and that with no gear indicator

I just Dipped my shifter bezel, waiting on a Redline boot to show up. Wish I had seen that before I went with Redline.
I'll get pics up with the masked off bezel under 4 coats of plastidip. If the damn boot shows, I'll take pics of the final setup.
Figure if the Dip don't work, I can always paint it later.

Does this snap right in to the stock trim ring or is there a bit of work there to get it to fit?

If you don't mind post some links to the threads you found about this. I have a 2005 CTS-V and I am very interested.

Should be a step easier then this writeup since it doesn't come attached to any trim ring.

Since I promised pics when I was done... I'm done. I might change the way the boot sits just a hair, but here she is.
The boot is a Redline boot with tan stitching. The **** is a TWM Performance Piston **** with my 'holy crap that's cold' o-ring mod. Makes a world of difference. You can call that the VinATL mod.
The bezel is 4 coats of Plastidip. I scraped off the rubber coating of crap, and wet sanded it. Came out well. The little tiny spec is painters tape that didn't come off, which I just noticed.
