Happy Happy Joy Joy!!!

So I got a second set of leather boots for my baby from REDLINEGOODS.COM today. I asked Maciek (org sponsor) to make me a shift boot version without velcro (I hate velcro), and to re-design the e-brake boot a touch.

ANYWHOO..... I couldn't be more happy. The new boots arrived today and I installed them. PERFECT FIT!! YES YES A PERFECT FIT.

The Shifter boot got on flawlessly and sits in the reverse lockout groove like a perfect size jimmy hat

The e-brake boot was a touch harder to install but once on, everything worked magically, it doesnt get caught or anything, its flawless.

I really wish the pics were better because they dont do the leather justice. I think the silver stiching offsets our aluminium trim perfectly and the thick leather makes the clangly shifter sound dissapear.

I showed my folks and they thought it was really spiffy, were gonna get a set for the Vibe and the Bonneville also (GM Employees :S)

Anywhoo, props to Maciek and REDLINEGOODS.COM this is a fantastic design job they did and I'm blown away.

Thanks Again Maciek, (DZIEKI i POZDRAWIAM!!)

Man Kam that really looks awesome......you are giving me bad habits......may have to try this out too on my car....... Did they say that this was going to be the normal for the shifter boot? or do I have to ask for the Kam special....

 

i spose u answered the sponsor email? looks good. nice if my e-boot was long enough.

looks good.

 

don't have a manual, but looks good....

 

I'm with Tek.....no manual but definitely like the ebrake leather.....

 

they sell those also if you want just that..

 

Well I sent them my origional shift boot so I imagine all future designs will be based on that template. Just specify if you want velcro (UGH!) or elastic.

I cant describe the difference, its so much plusher and thicker.

No wait here it is:

Is all I can say.

Tha just gave me an idea, see on the auto, you dont need the shift plate, the gates are predetermined inside the tranny, you could pop out your shift plate housing and install a leather boot. I know cause in the manual there wires are there for the shift lights.

THAT WOULD LOOK PIMP! a manumatic with a leath shift boot.

Kam

 

lol..... a fake manual looking max..... i get what you are saying though..

 

Anyone else out there has a 6sp on black interior?

Comon guys i wanna see what it would loook like in yours. Rambergs e-boot looks sweet on the red e-brake handle too.

I wonder what the automatic to manual switch over would look like

Kam

 

I have a 6spd with black leather? Why you askin?

 

just want to see who else is driving the 6spds.



Kam

 

I have a 6 speed with black leather interior also. Does the leather match the NIssan leather in color?

 

I wanna know if it matches good too. Theres a thread in the group deal forum for the boots. If theres enough people by Dec. 5 they are gonna do a 30% discount for anyone who wants these.

 

Looks good but damn, a little obsessive with those pics. Do they make it in the frost finish?

 

The color match is pretty close, there is definately more grain in the leather. I guess its hard to tell on the pics if the color is close. It looks damn close in my eyes. Believe me, unless you see it on your own car, you really missing out on a great product. Besides it gets rid of that ugly vinyl and the .30 cent plastic ebrake.

Peace,

Kam

 

Kam,
The leather and the boot is nice, but what caught my eye is your shift ****.
What kind is it and was it easy to install? Thanks
Car is looking good.

Thanks Kam,
Nice pics, appreciate you replying so quickly. Thanks for the link as well. Sure hope I don't drift off topic here, but was wondering did you have to do anything special to get that on there. I could have sworn there was another post about people saying it was a pain because of the reverse mechanism. Ok, i'll leave this thread alone now. Thanks.

 

No no its cool, to be honest, the Razo **** slipped on like a glove, it was designed for the reverse lockout mechanisim without a doubt. It comes with three adjustment type screws and you use the one that matches your stick the closest. I just like how the shift BOOTS match so well with the **** and the rest of the interior.

Peace,

Kam

 

My baby is at the dealership again, their repainting the FUP they caused when they did the allignment.

I miss her already, I miss the smell of that fresh leather too.

Sorry to bring this back from the dead but I have a question. I was wondering if you had any trouble getting your ebrake boot installed? I got mine and my shift boot and the ebrake would BARELY fit over the end of the ebrake. Then another 30 minutes to slowly work it down to were it needed to be. It ended up all wrinkled and the top thread ripped.

 

My e-brake boot was hard to put on near the end but i used a bit of leather conditioner and it slipped on like a glove. Snug all the way to the very end, no ripped threads. You have to remember the leather will grip against the handle because the handle is made of synthetic rubbers . In the end the e-brake and shifter boot took me a total of about 15min.

Good luck bro.

Redlinegoods is sending me another boot. Great customer service. He said they got a new seamstress so she was putting em together a little to tight. Anyways il have pics when I get my pedals installed too.

 

Wow great job, $h!t looks hot.

 

It looks good and the fresh leather smell is off the hook. Give your maxima a New Years gift. Get her a some redlinegoods leather boots.

Here are pics of my new redlinegoods shifter boot and ebrake boot:





What do u guys think?

 

Is that an Astin Martin???

 

I'm not sure if you know but I was the very FIRST 6th Gen to email RedLineGoods and I sent him the temp plate to design the 6th Gen E-boot, so I started this boot mess amongst the 6th Gens and damn proud of it. RedLineGoods does awesome work and my ride is showcased on their site...

 

Im very pleased with the leather. It looks great. Its a bit lighter than the seat leather soim gonna get some conditioner on it to darken it some

 

I'm glad your enjoying your POLAND made product
I'm thinking of sending them my steering wheel next to have a custom fitted leather wrap made for it :O

What are your thoughts on that?

Thanks,

Kam

 

Great idea Kam. Um . . . how are u gonna drive the car until then??? If u decide to do it please keep me informed.

 

Attach a monkey wrench to the steering wheel. Anyone have a spare steering wheel they want to donate?

THanks,

HAHAHAH,

Kam

 

By the way, I put on leather conditioner today on the boots and that darkened the leather so its very close to factory color.

 

I might have to follow your lead on that, but I got the ones with the silver stiching and I dont want to dye the thread up.

Actually I'm very happy with the color, maybe a little softess would help, i think some mink oil should help that out.

Peace,

kam

 

Hey Kam: I got med gray stitching and it didnt harm it or change that color. I used Meguier's leather conditioner.

 

it didnt stain the stiches at all?

 

damn yo shyt looks damn good...buh deus howcome your boots look sooo tight on your ebrake nd shifter?

 

I suspect he still has the original cover still on the ebrake handle where as I cut the whole thing out...

 

as per meester sparkro. "WHU did u cutz, lolz?"
