NO the boots are not bright red, they are maroon but the flash is set so high it looks bright red (you can tell because at one part the seats are white). YES the is a leather shifter cover and boots on my automagic. I will post more tomorrow, too tired now. I still need need to readjust the boots so that there is less slack in them but other than that I'm done. And yes it was a pain, but I hated the stock shifter and wanted to try something somewhat original.

Looks good! All you need to do is get a levoc shifter and it would be even sweeter!

www.jujeracing.com but I don't suggest you buy from them... not that their service or prices are bad, but their products are. They are not direct replacements and not easy to install.

i know www.leatherseats.com makes awsome e-brake boots, but they cost alot($40-60)

I might try that the black e-brake boot with a gray stitching and see how that works out. Or i was thinking about buying one from Nissan for $35 and not even start messing with one that doesnt fit well.

How hard was the e-brake boot to swap out??
and are they real leather or plether??

Pleather but unless I told you, you wouldn't ever know. My shift **** is 100% real leather and I can't tell a difference except the color. And the eBrake boot goes on top of the stock one, or I could make is a replacement with a lot of work. For a replacement you would have to pull out the old ebrake boot, rip it apart to get to the metal template, glue the template perfectly into the new one, and then put it back. It's very hard to get the template in the boot perfectly though. Just go with Nissan OEM or if you have custom leather then www.leatherseats.com.

In the pic it looks like you took some satin panties and wrapped them around your shifter. Are you trying to get in touch with your feminine side Cy?

August 17th and 18th at Virginia Motorsports Park (Dinwiddie). I'm not going to enter either (of course), but Nopi cars and drags are
