I could be wrong, and I'll post some pics later if it is the package that is waiting for me. Standby boys!

EDIT:

Finally, the boot came! Great piece, nicely stitched and beautiful feel to it. I really like the way the red contrasts the silver (a classic automotive combo IMO). Here is a cell phone pic for now, better ones to come later. The flash has washed out the red a bit, it is more rich and saturated in color in person.

Install wasnt bad. Attaching it to the plastic frame was by far the longest part of the process. Also make sure you do up the lock nut on the bottom tight, or else when you go for reverse you'll pull the whole deal right off!

What do you guys think?
Doesn't look like their red will match the "Cedar" of the limited leather. ?
