Default Where to get leather boot and shift **** for A4?

I'm going to do the leather boot thing on my car, tired of looking at the plastic. Where can I buy it, and would a C5 auto **** fit the camaro stick?

I know someone makes a kit to run any manual **** with an automatic, but otherwise I'm not sure if the C5 **** fits, or where to get the boot. Here is a bump for ya, hopefully someone with some info will chime in.

i just used a leather boot i found at autozone, its made for a manual...so its not perfect but it works. had to tuck the bottom in and around.
as for the ****, im not sure, i know mba used to sell adapter kits but i forgot who carries them now. do a search and you should be able to find which sponsor has them now

I hope you find one that works/fits well cuz I need to do this, too. The little plastic overlappy things rattle like hell. I need to rip them out and put a leather boot over it.

I wonder if it's possible to retrofit the A4 GTO shift ***** for ours. They sure do look nice.

www.CAU-LLC.com sells a conversion just for fbodies and they also have some pretty cool *****. After I broke my T-Handle on my auto i ordered this kit to replace it (the brake interlock solendoid went bad and a broke the handle by squeezing too hard). Hope this helps! I ordered a **** from thunder racing (the last of the MBA stuff).
