Question Looking for a shift boot...

Hey guys and gals... I'm looking for somewhere where I can get a shift boot with contrast stitching.

I really want a black one w blue stitching... definately can't do it myself and can't find anywhere that does it.

I swear I saw them available somewhere but all I can find now are the wheelskins ones on afterthoughts and leatherseats.com and I don't see contrasts available for those.

Anybody know a place?

Check out my car domain page and tell me what you think about mine. I have more pics too. My father made mine and made another one for a member here.

i would think any upholstry place can take the stiching out of the stocker and re-thread it. on a side note u should paint (black) behind ur billet grill. just my 2 cents

Here you go. I used a factory boot as a parttern so it is exactly the same as the factory except it is leather and has the stitching. My father does upholstery for a living so he has skills. He is working on my seats right now.

I'm sure my father would make one for anyone that wants one... I would have to go and get the leather but that isn't a big deal. If you want one just PM me or shoot me an email and I'll get back with you all. Just let me know what you exactly want.

tmgsix- I'm sure you have seen me at some point. I drive up and down I-20 everyday since I work in Duncanville. My car looks a little different from those pics I have up. If you ever see a red TA with charcoal TT2's its me. I think I'm the only one in the area with this look right now. If you ever want to see the boot in person let me know.

I can't give a price since I'm not a sponsor so shoot me a pm or an email and we can talk.

Mine matches the factory seats exactly, how much darker are you talking about? Just trying to get an idea of how dark you want

You will need to PM him for a price quote. Since he is not a sponsor he cannot give pricing out publicly.

I think I've responded to all the PM's I received. I'll get back with everyone on pricing. Just give me a couple days to get a price on materials.
