Default New Leather From Redlinegoods!
New shift boot, shift ****, ebrake boot, console cover. Top quality, even though shipment was nearly 2 weeks late. It's not a luxury car but defiantly improves the look and feel.

Looks good. Does the cover make the armrest more comfortable or is it purely show?

I'd say it does. It comes with a foam pad (you can select how much padding you want) and it will defiantly help on long drives.

How did you install the E-Brake Handle cover, it looks good. Also, do you have a picture of the bottom of the armrest and how did it install?

Looks good btw

You gotta remove the console and custom cut your leather to make it fit over the ebrake handle. They have instructions on their site with pics.

Armrest cover just slides on.

No, I mean the E-Brake handle grip. I already installed the E-Brake boot. Kinda stumped on how to install the leather handle grip.

That looks stock to me, at least for a ls1.

And what's that switch for near the console? Heated seats?

It looks like a bass boost control.

No, there is a stock one there (plastic). But he bought the leather replacement and installed it. Check out his before and after on the ebrake handle...

One is for the halo's in my fog lights and the other is a bass gain ****.

Maybe it's just the light, but I didn't replace the ebrake handle, just the boot. To remove the handle, I believe you just loosen the one screw you see in the pic and it should slide off...

Custom **** + shift boot + shift boot bracket + ebrake boot + armrest cover with padding + shipping + tax all came to $212.

Here's a list of what they sell:

I am starting to debate this now as well...what material is that? Regular, or is that the Nappa leather?

Looks great I love the shifter boot/shift ball combo. That looks sick! Nice job.

Did you order the shift boot at a stock length or did you order it shorter. I have a MGW as well and I was thinking I would order my boot 2" shorter than stock.

Pretty sure it's Nappa, smooth and soft to the touch. Looks almost identical as the stuff used in my buddies BMW 5 series.

Thanks! I ordered it an inch shorter but I don't think that's enough, too much slack for me. Depends on your taste I guess.

Some better pics:
