Is there any demand for aftermarket ebrake boots?

Because I know a site that sells different color shift boots and ebrake boots for 4th & 5th Gen Maximas. Just curious.

I ordered mine today and I'll let you know how it is when they come in. I'll finally be replacing the hideous bright red shift boot I have in there now.

hahahhaha!!!

that is soooo dang funny!! my car was the guinea pig for thier boots!!!

the shifter boot is gorgeous but the ebrake boot i wasnt too happy with and they wouldnt make one more to my specifications (i wanted my ebrake boot to look more like the one on the '99 limited edition)

the brake boot will look exactly like the stock one without the surronding plastic ....like this

BEFORE YOU BUY...

Just remember guys if you give me a week I should have mine, then I will make a new post concerning the fitment, quality, service/support, etc. I know it's cheap as heck and as soon as I found their site I bought it. So just gimme a little time and I'll let you know if it's a waste of money.

Thanks,

actually in order to be the test dummy i had to take out the stock ebrake cover....and unfortunately once it came off...it was too nasty to put back on...

since jujuracing couldnt make the ebrake cover that i wanted....i bought the material to make my own...i do have the shifter boot that they made which i had to tweak a little

in order to attach my homemade ebrake cover i had to remove the center console (which is hellified easy once you know where all the screws are) then I used a glue gun and q tips to attach the boot to the console

juju racing's ebrake cover only requires that you slide it over the stock plastic cover...easy but still not what i was looking for

this is my current boot setup...the shifter boot that juju racing made and the ebrake boot that i made


if you want more pics i can take some tonight and email them to you

Do you think that the 4th Gen ebrake boot is also a slide-on or that I will have to take out the center console? I also think it will be easy but I don't know where the screws are on my 4th Gen. I just don't see how you could make a slide-over ebrake boot for the 4th Gen. And thanks for the info, I appreciate it.

Would they tell me if they are backordered or will I just have to wait and find out?

Was it really shiny? I still can't wait for mine to come in, I ordered it in maroon to match my car! Plus it's replacing this ugly thing:

the glossiness may be related to the color that you ordered


the tan ones they made for me were not glossy....more of a matte tan..i really like the shifter boot they made for me

and the ebrake boot that i made...i think is wonderful of course

I hope mine is not shiny... I like the matte color more. Yours looks really nice, I hope the 4th Gen ones look that nice. I am just hoping the ebrake boot is not a b*tch to change.

Ummm... the e-brake boot says manual only. Is there a difference between the e-brake boot on the manual and the e-brake boot on the auto's?

Well their whole site is kinda designed for manual cars, because how many autos do you know with shift boots? And no there is no difference in the auto and manual ebrake boots.

unless they took thier material to the dealer to see how close a match is...you will most likely need to send a piece of trim so they can match it with the fabric

the only color that I know will match is the tan/sunlit sand boots
