6th gen leather e-brake boot (pics) - looking for donors for shift boots!
Hi guys,
for those of you who don't know me, my name is Maciek and I represent RedlineGoods.com, a sponsor of Maxima.org and a long-time producer of genuine italian leather shift and brake boots for various cars. If you search for "RedlineGoods" you'll see a lot of our posts on this forum - and a LOT of positive comments from our customers for earlier gen Maximas!
As of a few days ago we now have a confirmed template for a leather e-brake boot for the 04 Maxima! Pictures can be found below. For those of you who will NOT want an aftermarket e-brake handle, the boot can be nicely folded and sewn on top which will make for a very flush fit with the stock cover (only the handle part will stick out of a nicely finished brake boot).
We are looking for donors of the stock shift boots. The deal is this: send me your stock boot, order our boot (which we'll make basing on a template made from your stock one) and once you send us pictures of what it looks like in your car along with a short install-write up we'll give you ALL of your money
Offer available on a first come-first served basis. Please POST a reply HERE if you're interested, we'll PM you in the order of the replies being posted. Please DO NOT email me just yet as this will not count, only replies to this thread will.
Take care all,
Maciek

That part sounds iffy, but nobody would come here and try to scam in bulk for something like an e-brake boot, would they?

The pics above are the only ones I have, unfortunately - so far! I'm hoping to have more soon.

For STOCK handles, the boot will be folded and sewn around with decorative thread around the top opening, so that after pulling it on your stock handle, only the part you grab while engaging ebrake will be visible, and the rest of the shape will be covered by leather. VERY simple install really.
As for our creditibility, here are some links to our other threads on this site, if you have any doubts if we're credible, just grab a cup of coffee and read the plethora of positive comments from other org members they contain.

The version in the picture was customized for the thick handle: the top was slightly longer and it was NOT folded and sewn over, because Chris (owner of car) wanted to secure the top of the boot under his aftermarket handle.
BUT I still think the ebrake boot is hot... you have a link so I can order it? I looked on the website but didn't find it...
Now I gotta find a decent picture of an aftermarket ebrake handle... the pictures on customenterprise are real assy, and I wanna get something nice but not ricey.

If you order a boot for a stock handle and send me pictures of such, I'd be happy to give you 25% of your money back (I need pics for the site!)
Thank you!

Hey Max fans, just wanted to let everyone know on the Org that Maciek and his "Red Line Goods Crew" does outstanding quality work. I was the first to send him a template for the E-brake handle "could not stand the plastic look of the old" and those are close up pictures of my ride he is using with my permission. I can not say enough about the superb quality, once I install my wooddash, it should set the whole dash off, not to say how hot it looks now. Thanks again Maciek for the superb craftmanship and great communication in making the FIRST 6th gen E-brake boot. Peace...

I ordered a black one on Mon. and it is being shipped out today. Will you give me back 25% if I send you pictures? Chris (chernmax) is my friend and I am going there this weekend to do some installs. Later Warren
This is not a scam.
Thank you!

And where'd that e-brake handle come from?

It's a TRENZ-R e-brake handle, Red Billet Aluminum. I ordered a real Burlwood dash kit which will blend everything in nicely, perfection sometimes takes time...
Peace bro...

The picture is in the sunlight and brings out the center console color more, once the Real Burl Wood dash is applied the color contrast with the center console will be eliminated, the boot color will then be almost an exact match of the suede leather highlights used on the doors and over the top of the front console. Again, sometimes perfection takes patience... Envision the end result.
Watch and learn...

We do have a service whereby for just $10 we'll send you a full set of samples, and if you decide to order $5 of that will be deducated from your order (regardless of all other discounts, if any are available at the time you're ordering).
