Default Has anyone used this shift boot off ebay?
Im looking for a new boot for my camaro since I'm swapping over to the 97-02 dash and console.

I was searching ebay and I was curious if anyone has used the Autotrimming one. I'd post a link but don't want it to get deleted.

Just from the looks of it I wouldn't buy it. You get what you pay for. If it's $5.00 then it'll show.

Its a shift boot. How bad could it be? I know its not leather which is probably why its so cheap.

Many of those cheaper boots tend to crack and flake in very short time. Ask me how I know. I second the suggestion of spending extra and buying a quality one from Redline. Buy once cry once.

Yeah those look REALLY cheap.

I would go Redline if you care about quality. You won't regret it.
