I've been trying like hell to find a shop that can cover my OEM **** in leather, and can't find one. Some have tried but at the end they tell me they can't get it to work. Yet, I know Star Tech and other have done it for purposes of taking pictures only. They don't sell them. Someone had to do it, so it's been done. Here's a picture of what I want.


Does anyone know of a local shop in your area that can do it? I'm willing to ship it to them.

 

Have you tried Riggs brothers?

 

No, where are they located? Do you have contact information for them?

 

Hey FP,
I think these guys can help you out. For you the closest location is in St.Charles.I had the one in Naperville tint my windows. They do quality work and have been around for many years. Good Luck.

Riggs Brothers Tops & Interior, 1608 N Aurora Rd, Naperville, IL 60563

(630) 548-1717 riggsbros.com 1608 N Aurora Rd, Naperville, IL 60563

They have I think 5 shops in the chi-area.


Probably my family has spent in the neighborhood of 15,000 with them over like 20-30 years.

Can't get you a discount but I will vouch for their excellent work...last thing they did for us was an interiior for a golf cart that matches brand new caddy interior...with the tucks and the same plush leather material!...couldn't tell you were sitting on the cart or in a car!

And they will try anything...have taken items too them and said what do you think of this...and they have made it a reality!...

Not cheap by the way,

 

Thanks guys, I will try them.

 

FP - let me no the cost I might be interested in getting mine done.

 

X2 for me!

 

momo and other make leather **** ***** with matching boots if this road doesnt take you anywhere, you can get them online at the cardomain store.

 

why does it bleep shift for me? s h i f t ... edit... guess i spelled it wrong. hehehe lol.

 

Thanks I have a momo, but I really like the OEM in leather.

I'm on a mission.

 

FP, I'm also interested in covering my shift **** in leather. If this avenue is successful, let me know.

 

I'll let you guys know how it works out. It would be nice if one of the guys closer to the shop could find out if they can get it done.

 

Hey FP, have you given any thought to a leather SLK shifter ****? I bought one off E-bay, it looks OEM and I really like it.

 

How about a picture.

 

Here's one, but not a very good one, (Blurry).

 

It's very nice and a good alternative, but I really, really want the OEM in leather. I guess if I can't do it, I'll go for this one.

 

This is the OEM shift ****? This looks pretty sharp.
Anyone know the price on this?
I'm going to look it up and I'll post the price if no one beats me to it.

EDIT.

I can't find one, nor can I find a part number.
My dealer asked for a part number because he can't find one in the catalog.
Go figure...

Btw, he said he thought the 06s came with a leather autostick shift **** as standard... I think he is probably wrong.
Anyone know?

Thanks.

 

No, this is not the OEM ****. If you look at the beginning of the thread you will see the OEM **** covered in leather. That's what I want.

 

Yes. I did see that one and it looks good too.

I interpreted one of the posts as stating there was a leather oem autostick shift **** available as an accessory.
