I was in on there original group deal and that was the color that they sent me. That was as close as they could get to that weird brown/gray color. I just told them to send me a black boot and I am going to switch my e-brake to black also.

I tried to warn as many ppl as I could, but he doesn't have anything even close to the stock brown color. He even admits that.

I tried "tan"

So to answer your question, none of his colors go with the stock brown. Good luck getting your money back, he wouldn't refund me.

Well i told him what I wanted. The website was messed up so I told them what I wanted in the paypal notes. And he still sent me a brown shift boot. So i emailed him and told him I want to switch that.. and the color the helped me pick out wasnt even close and I want to either pick a new color or get a refund. heres what i wrote them, attcached with pics of my car console+ the fugly ebrake boot and shift boot cover...

Dear Maciek,
Today I received your product. Wow feels like great quality. However, I
there are 2 aspect in which I am not completely satisfied with. The first
one is that you guys accidentally sent me a brown thread/brown leather shift
boot. On the paypal I requested I needed a black one. It would NOT let me
chose 2 colors on the ebrake and shift boot. Might have been a previous
error on your site, however, I sent directions embedded in the paypal
payment what I specifically wanted. Also, the brown leather ebrake boot
doesn't match at ALL. I need to get this fixed A.S.A.P. Would you guys
suggest any other color next to this brown I received? I sent you guys the
pick and you helped me pick it out, but it just stands out way to much. I
hate to ship this thing all the way back to Poland. Attached is a few
pictures of the 2 leather boots and a picture of my ebrake in which I need
to get another color for. Other than that, the leather is wonderful. I'm
sure there was just a mix-up. If you need to contact me via telephone my
cell number is (713) 562-****, you can reach me after 3:00 PM Central Monday
through Friday.

Sincerely,
Taylor

This is crap. He reccomended me that color and said alot of people get that color and it will match. Hello Tay!

I'd recommend our brown leather. It's not a close match, but a lot of people
got it and liked it... It does not exactly match any of the interior colors
that you already have, but it's a very similar hue and saturation and
doesn't look out of place that way. I'd say out of all the colors we have,
it's by far the best to match that unusual color Nissan put into the
Maximas.

I do have a brown leather/brown thread Maxima set in stock and ready to ship
immediately.

Thank you!
Maciek

I wonder if you could you dye them .. as i just ordered the Brown as well, since he stated it was like a football brown. So when i compared my football to it it was pretty close.

I hope he didnt mean the European Football .. cause i dont like the color of soccer *****.

Mine was really brown. I emailed him and we talked. I was as nice as I could be.. Im going to spend about 5 bucks extra and he's going to switch both boots out for black. Since my center console really doesnt do well with black, I decided to spend 81 bucks on a Momo ebrake (retail $145) Which will help it match alittle bit better.
