*Jujeracing.com shift/e-brake PICS and review.*

Like most people on here, my shift and e-brake boots went to sht after an undisclosed time (I bought my car w/ them), and decided to give Jujeracing.com ( http://jujeracing.com/ ) a shot. I decided to buy black boots, with brown stitching for $35 shipped. I sent a personal check on Feb. 18th, and got my boots about one week ago.
I went ahead and installed my shift boot right away, and just today got around to doing my e-brake boot install. -By the way, thanks to JSutter for his write-up, that can be found in the 4th gen. HOW TO'S.- I ghetto rigged the shifter with an old coat hanger, and recycled the original shifter hardware (rubber piece, rubber band, and washer). It turned out pretty well. Today, as I said, I installed the e-brake boot. I actually cut out the metal ring for this boot, and it too, turned out pretty well.
My impressions: These boots do NOT come with a "loop" to slip the factory mounting rings into the boots, and I had to figure something out. The shift boot was easy enough to secure by adjusting the boot and metal ring, and then fitting it into the shifter console. For the e-brake, I had to sew a little so that it was stable enough to install on the rest of the center console. It's an aqward process. Also, I had to cut the "tabs" off of my e-brake boot supports, which JSutter explains in his write up.
I didn't have any contact with the seller of these boots after the original purchase, even though I tried to contact him several times about the progress. I still haven't recieved a reply, so customer service was nil.
In hindsight, I should have dug a little bit deeper for the leather from redlinemax, but you can decide for yourself. IMO, these are 1000x better than ripped boots.
Thanks for reading, the pics will be on following replies.

It's not worthless anymore...haha.
Notice my custom de-leatherized, sanded down stock SE shifter. OOOOHHHH YEAH. It actually feels pretty good. I ripped the leather off trying to get the **** off w/ vise grips (even when using a shop towel), and my new **** broke within a month, so the stock one lives again.

Thanks for the replies, I actually went back today and readjusted the e-brake boot to give it more slack. I love always having something to do for my car. By the way, whoever said "one man's trash is another man's treasure" needs a quick slap to the face. Look what I found:

I've already stated that redline max boots probably look better. Also, what do you think I did when I had my console out?
Also, the **** looks better in person, and IS better than grabbing the naked shifter.
These boots were also more difficult to install than redline max's set, because they didn't have the "guides" for the metal rings.
