Leather Shift and Ebrake boots 3rd/4th/5th gens
Maciek -
Thanks for the 10% discount code. I was hesitant about ordering before, but with the discount I'm now going to order the entire package (both boots and armrest cover). Can't wait.

A small piece of wood underneath the boot would do nice to make sure the leather is not stretched while the hole is being punched.
As for the 5th gen ebrake boot, as you do know it's a totally custom design. There are no pre-made mounting holes or prongs or anything on your car. We don't punch the holes in them, because depending on if you want a more "baggy" or a more stretched look, you can punch them closer or further from the bottom edge.
As with anything custom made, it's a bit more hassle to get it to work, but so much more fun to have something that not many others have. Wouldn't you say?

Thanks for letting me know though, I'm pretty sure it will all work out in the end.
Other than this small issue though, I gotta admit you build a nice product.

ok looked up redlinegoods how to install page, but I just cannot get the shift **** off, that thing is really on there, any ideas, I dont have a vicegrip that large, and I tried a grip clamp but it doesnt have enough holding force, im also having problems getting the wire through the ebrake boot without bending it into a circle, any ideas?

i assume u clipped the wire so you can just slide 1 edge in and feed it through. it should work ok like that. maybe rub a little WD40/vaseline (no laughing)/leather conditoner on the wire..that might slide it in better.

I'm not against doing, I'm pretty handy, it's just that I'd liked to have known that ahead of time. It might even be better to ship them w/ no holes because now I'm looking at shooting extra holes in the thing, and even though you state they'll be covered and therefore isn't a problem, I'd rather have fewer holes not extra holes.

DanNY, got the boots yesterday, installed today, thanks
FYI for those of you whose shift boots didn't fit, for my 2k3, I had to rotate the boot several times before it fit. Apparently it only fits one way for the holes ot match up. Fit perfectly for me.
I think 3pedals was refering to the ebrake boot which needs holes punched to secure it. As of right now my ebrake boot is in, but not secured, except for the OEM rubber that's holding it in place. I'm also a little hesitant to punch holes in the boot considering how the stock rubber piece is held in by very tight fitting *****. anyone have any ideas about a better way to secure the ebrake boot without using the stock mounting points?
Thanks to DanNY and Redlinegoods for great customer service and a great product.

Received - looks good. Dunno when I'll install it.
I recall I'll need to really crank on that shift **** to get it loose (loc-tite). Is a thick rag + vise grips still the best method? I would not like to replace the shift ****.

didnt post when i got them, so i might as well post it now. got the boots on time and they look and feel great, didnt install them yet, just wanted to thank danny for setting up a kick *** deal and for great communications. 
For all those who ordered both shifter and e-brake boots for 4th-gens: the slightly larger boot is for the e-brake, the smaller one is for the shifter. I learned the hard way and wrinkled the e-brake boot a bit but it still looks good. Now I gotta figure out how to get the armrest cover on tightly....

Name, address, and what boot and color you want.
I'll let you know the price (10% off of course) and who to send to.
Thanks!

it works just fine for me, you must have pasted it wrong. Here's a new one (that one is already expired).

The code does not give 5% off. It shows like it works but as soon as I hit the PAYPAL button it's $60 again. I'd like to get a 10% discount. I just bought my max a few days ago and the boots are torn. I didn't know I was gonna need them til after the deal was over. If anyone is still looking over this thread I would like:
both boots in black with beige stiching for a 96 maxima.

That offer has expired, but the code will still get you a 5% discount, which is better than nothing! A full set, the two boots and the armrest cover, cost $85.50 with shipping. With the titanium stitching, they should look good with my new Anniversary Addition shift ****. At least I hope so.

AFTER I placed my order with redline, I came across a new discount code in the Sponsors Area forum, good for 10% off through 10/11/2004. Oh well, since they did give me 5% off for the expired code I tried to use (it was worth a try), I'm only "out" $4.50 instead of $9. Still, that's lunch money.

I will point out that this is NOT exactly what you will get unless you special order the "quad stitching" (is that the right term)? The boot I recieved has just TWO seams, in the middle of the "front" and "back". I kept seeing pictures like the one above and assumed that's what I would get. It wasn't.
My shift boot has 4 cuts around the bottom, below the stitching. I assume this is to facilitate insertion of the metal ring?

What that pictures show is a regular, double stitching, on a 4-panel boot (it's a Corrado for those who care to know). Quadruple stitching is 4 rows next to each other.
The slits in the bottom fold are indeed for inserting the metal ring.

the 4th gen boot is "exactly" the same as the stock boot in design. If you want changes/add-ons to the boot then you can always ask.

This is a standard Redline boot in black leather with titanium stitching. The offset color stitching sounded like a good idea but be forewarned, any booboos in the stitching will stand out like the proverbial sore thumb.

Booboos in the stiching... For one, they won't stand out at all if you go for black thread. Secondly, and more importantly, if you have any problems with the boot you have received, why not send it back and let us take a look at how we could fix it?
