Different E-Brake 'boot' ?

The plastic/rubber surround around the emergency brake that covers the hole where the brake comes out is cr*p (IMHO). It deforms, and stays that way, after the brake is returned to an unused position. I've seen other vehicles w/ leather boots for this, why is ours so cheezy? Does anyone know of a replacement boot?

Get one from www.redlinegoods.com
You can get it in several colors of leather and stitching (this is black leather w/ tan stitching). get the matching shifter boot while you're at it (if you're a stick shift)
Here's what they look like:
Keep in mind, when I took this pic it wasn't totally attached yet at the base. Now it's attached and it looks better...

That rocks. Thank you. I don't see anything on their webpage showing pic's of the actual leathers, or the different leathers and the various contrasting stitching options.

I've got a tan interior, I'm guessing the beige leather they show is the closest match, whaddya think?

You'll never get a perfect match on the leather...supposedly their tan is not the same as our seats..

I suggest you go with the black leather and tan stitching if you want a classy look that matches and doesn't look out of place....check out my cardomain page I have another pic or two of it....whatever you do, make sure you get the black leather and not the other one that looks like black (I think it's called charcoal/graphite and it looks gray in person.....) These things look much better in person than in the pics. On the redline site click on "color options"...you can also pick themaxima out of the drop-down menu at the top and there should be pics....

Also, if you want it to stand out a little more, you can also get it double stitched as shown on the reline site....mine is single-stitched.

Redline DOES have it, just have to call them I guess. It's pretty much brand new - a couple of the org guys did the testing on them and I think I was one of the first to order them....also, there is a group deal going on for them in the GD section I think.

Irish - I assume that's black leather you've got, but what is the stitching? White, Titaniun, Tan?

black leather, tan stitching. Sorry, I thought I had said that earlier, but I guess not.
