Finally got these in today so I decided to put them on.. Overall installation was pretty easy besides getting the console out, that was a challenge to get the ebrake boot installed correctly.

I sent in some closeup's of the SOM color from my car and they where able to color match it extremely well.. I held it up next to the car and it looks great..

Quality on the leather, stiches etc.. is excellent.. Top Notch product..

I also put a new shift ball on.. Had it sitting around for awhile waiting for this stuff.. These can be purchased at SpeedInc.com if you are interested to know where I got it from.

Overall very happy with the results.. Now I have to get all my SOM seat inserts and door inserts done

Another thing to note, I'm running a Pro 5.0 with a lou's short stick.. When I ordered I did not get the custom sized boot designed for short sticks.. I just went with the regular sized one hoping it would fit ok, and overall it does.. I like when it's pushed down rather then sticking up. Also, the color leather I purchased was Black, I have Ebony Interior.. Real subtle offset.

it would be really sweet to do your seats too, but damn that would probably be mega $$$$

It looks great...I already have the exact same shift boot and ordered the E-brake and Console cover last week...so I AM NOT COPYING YOU! lol

Also not to be pointing out things...BUT I think you have your shift boot on crooked. The stitching should be running from the corners like the original one. The panels are cut to fit that way, so it would actually fit better too. UNLESS you like it better that way then thats cool.

looks good, il be ordering the boots and armrest soon too hopefully.. not a bad price for everything.

For real leather with labor at a local shop it was about $2200 with almost an exact color match.. way too expensive.

I have been talking with some other people to do vinyl for half the price under $1000 for everything.. so we'll see when I can get it done..

SOMSS1LE

ha, I've seen your's before so I know you are not copying.. I actually asked about your color matched stiching to see if you used the orange they offered or if you had them make it darker like mine. Either way, it's a great touch and looks really nice.

Regarding the shift boot, yea, I just went out there and changed it.. Thanks for pointing that out, didn't realize it.. I put it that way orginally because one side of the stich didn't go all the way up to the top of the boot so I wanted to hide it.. Looks much better now..

Nice, How much?
Where they a pain to install?

SOMSS1LE

No, pretty easy actually.. hardest part was getting out the console for the e-brake boot.

I also recommend buying the metal boot braket to replace the cheap plastic one.. I ended up cracking mine and just had to order the replacement metal one last week..

I think my cost with everything was like $120, takes about 2 weeks to get..

how much thicker does the armrest cover make the console lid? i like that and the shifter, but not feeling the e-brake.

that brake boot really makes a huge difference, adds a lot of class to the car. a lot better than that stamped steal shaft lol

The whole set up looks really nice.

hawksthirdgen.com has a pretty badass set for like $419 that includes front and back seat covers, you can get ebony on the outside with a greyish insert... ive seen feedback from a few people on the forum that say they fit great.
